After its first loss of the season, Texas A&M wanted to rebound strong and get a win.
Tuesday night, the Aggies did just that, defeating the UTSA Roadrunners by an 11-1 score. Ronnie Gideon sparked the Aggie offense with four RBI and a home run on the night. Freshman pitcher Turner Larkins also had a stellar outing on the mound.
The No. 1 Aggies (25-1) got started early, as they put up a six-run first inning to take a commanding lead they would only build on for the remainder of the game. A&M added insurance in the fifth with a four-run inning, and a run in the seventh gave the Aggies the 11-0 advantage. The Aggies outhit the Roadrunners by a 19 to 4 mark.
The pitching staff came through with another big game. Freshman Turner Larkins went six innings, allowing only two hits, no runs and tallied four strikeouts on the evening. Behind him, Brigham Hill, Blake Kopetsky and Corbin Martin kept the Roadrunners (13-11) in check for the remainder of the game.
The Aggies return to Olsen Field this weekend for their second SEC series of the year to take on the Missouri Tigers.
