Texas A&M club baseball looks to continue its winning streak March 2-3 when it plays Stephen F. Austin at Edible Field in Bryan at 5:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Sunday at 3 p.m.
After sweeping Texas Tech in a three-game home series Feb. 24-25, the team is working to build momentum for a run for the College Club World Series after placing second in Regionals last season. Civil engineering senior Aaron Dickerson said his strategy against SFA is more of a defensive one.
“SFA is fairly good,” Dickerson said. “They can hit decently. We need to force them to make errors.”
There were some lessons learned during the Texas Tech doubleheader on Feb. 25, Dickerson said, and he wants the team to carry those into the next home series.
“We want to keep dominating the mound and keep the bats hot,” Dickerson said.
A&M first played SFA in 2021 when it joined the conference and have won every matchup since.
Dickerson said he wants to continue improving the team’s 3-1 record despite limited practice opportunities.
“I want to get better at leaving runners on the base paths for those key moments, like when we have two outs,” he said. “If I were batting then, I wouldn’t want anyone on base.”
Dickerson also said he hopes word will grow about the team and that more students will show up to the games.
“We do our best to advertise the games, but since we’re a club team, not a lot of people know about it,” he said. “We don’t get a lot of students on away games, and it would be cool to get more.”
