Aggie fans and media react to Texas A&M's being swept by No. 1 Texas
For the third straight game, Texas A&M falls to No. 1 Texas by one run in the Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown at UFCU Disch-Falk Field in Austin.
Sunday's game between the Aggies and Longhorns brought plenty of action, with the Aggies jumping out to an early lead. A&M carried a 4-2 advantage into the bottom of the sixth inning before Texas surged ahead with three runs, taking a 5-4 lead. Caden Sorrell tied the game in the top of the seventh with a solo home run, marking the final run for A&M in the matchup.
Texas regained the lead with a solo home run late in the game. In a critical moment, Kaeden Kent hit into a double play with one out and two runners on base, sealing the Aggies' tough loss. Leaving 10 runners stranded proved costly, but the weekend highlighted A&M's potential as a postseason contender. With nine SEC games remaining, the Aggies have a strong chance to secure their spot if they capitalize on key opportunities.
Below are some of the best reactions from fans and media after Sunday's loss.
Tough road to the postseason and they might need to win the final three series to be safe
Texas A&M made every game a battle but needed to take at least one
Losing three games by one point to your rival is heartbreaking
The Aggies just couldn't do enough when they needed to the most
A&M just needs to reset and finish the season strong
13 might just be the magic number
Glass half-full is a good way to look at things
Glass half-empty is also another way to look at it
On a brighter note, Caden Sorrell had another Web Gem to add to his highlight reel
Time to move on to the midweek matchup
