No. 13 Texas A&M baseball took on the UT Arlington Mavericks at Olsen Field in the first of four home games for the Aggies this week. Freshman LHP Ryan Prager started for the Aggies and stayed on the mound until the third inning where he was relieved by fellow freshman RHP Chris Cortez. Prager and Cortez both gave up two runs each. Sophomore LHP Will Johnston was brought in to close and struck out two batters in 1.1 innings to improve his record to 1-1. Graduate Dylan Rock led Texas A&M on offense, whose home run and 3RBI gave A&M its dominant lead. The Aggies will return to Olsen Field on Friday at 6:30pm.
