Notes from May
Just because school stops in May doesn’t mean Aggie Sports does. Here are some of the highlights for the Aggies this May as seasons wrap up and summer begins.
The Aggie baseball team finished 36-22 (16-14) and was selected to the national tournament. They will play in the Ft. Worth regional this weekend, starting against the No. 25 Oregon State Beavers. Also in the bracket are TCU and Wright State which will square off after A&M-OSU Friday at 2:00.
A&M Softball qualified for the national tournament as well but bowed out in the first round to Lehigh University in the Gainesville Regional.
A&M retained the Lone Star Showdown Trophy over Texas after the two schools finished the year long competition tied in points. Because A&M won the year before the trophy defaults to them.
Soccer won the Aggie Cup which is a year long compeition within the A&M Sports teams to see who is the best on and off the field team at A&M. Women’s Swimming finished second, Equestrian third, Women’s Basketball fourth, and softball and men’s basketball tied for fifth.
At the Tennis Championships, being held at the Mitchell Outdoor Tennis Complex, No. seven ranked Senior Connor Pollock and sophomore Austin Krajicek matched their run from a year ago in doubles before bowing out in the quarterfinals to No. 17 Clay Donato and Taylor Fogleman of North Carolina. Pollock, Krajicek, and sophomore Wil Spencer were the only Aggies to qualify for the 64 person individual tournament. Pollock would be the only Aggie to escape the first round and would bow out in the quarterfinals again, this time to Arkansas’ Blake Strode. As a whole, the Aggie men lost to No. two seed Ole Miss in the Sweet Sixteen. The Aggies swept Binghampton and Arizona before being eliminated. USC would defeat Ohio State for the team national championship. Virginia’s Dominic Inglot and Michael Shabaz took home the doubles crown while Ole Miss’ Devin Britton won the individual title.
The Aggie women lost to No. 23 SMU in the first round at the Waco regional. None of the Aggie women qualified for the individual or doubles tournaments. Duke swept California for the team national championship, Mallory Cecil of Duke won the individual title, and Mari Andersson and Jana Juricova of Cal won the doubles title.
At the Men’s Golf Championship in Toledo, A&M is currently tied for twelfth along with Northwestern and Alabama. Individually, Bronson Burgoon is tied for sixteenth at one over par. Conrad Shindler and John Hurley are tied at 56 at four over while Matt Van Zandt and Andrea Pavan are tied at 75 and five over. Oklahoma State and Georgia are tied for the lead as teams while Northwestern’s Jonathan Bowers and Illinois’ Scott Langley are tied individually for the lead at two under par. The championships conclude May 30.
The Aggie women fell short in their bid to qualify for a second straight NCAA championship, finishing eleventh at the west regional.
For the track team, the Big 12 Outdoor championship in Lubbock was kind once more. The A&M Women won their third Big 12 Outdoor title and sixth consecutive title. The Men finished second for the second year in a row but sophomore Gerald Phiri took home his second Big 12 High Point Performer award after sweeping the 100, 200, and 4×100.

Three Aggies to Play Summer Ball
2B Brodie Greene, 1B Brett Parsons, and P Aaron Daab will all play for the Brazos Valley Bombers this summer.
Greene should add a big bat to the Bombers. He hit .352 with 11 doubles, 11 home runs and 10 stolen bases this season before the Big 12 Tournament. Parsons was a 3rd team All-American for Navaroo Jr. College in 2008 while Daab is coming off of Tommy John Surgery.
The Bomber’s start play on Friday June 5th.
Wily put the Longhorns down in order again, getting some key defensive plays behind him.
Horns lead 5-4 going to the ninth. Last chance for the Aggies.
After smith led off with a strike out, Greene hit a single that bounced off of a diving Tucker’s glove. He advanced on Raley’s ground out to the first (not a sac bunt… kind of sloppy) and then Anders hit in to the same ground out to end the inning.
Horns lead 5-4 going to the eighth inning.

Wily takes horns down in order
Belt, Moldenhauer and Rupp make quick work for Wily. Belt lined out to short, Moldenhauer grounded out 4-3 and Rupp grounded out 1-3 to end the inning.
Willy is looking good. I expect Este or Fleece to get a chance soon.
Horns lead 5-4 going to the eighth.
Colligan reached on a fielders choice, took second when Patterson was HBP and then scored on Shofner’s double to right field. Alleman and Gonzalez supplied two quick outs to end the inning.
Aggies are 2-for-11 with RISP and have stranded 10 batters. If they lose this will be a game of missed opportunities (even though you can’t throw out that disastarous first inning).
Horns lead 5-4 going to the bottom of the seventh.
