Kiel struck out looking on an 0-2 pitch from Volantis with the tying run on third.

Texas moves to 36-5 overall, 18-2 in the SEC.

The Longhorns haven't lost a weekend this season.

Very close, but I still can’t believe how many guys watch those 3rd strikes when the ball is close.  Some of our guys are masters at that.

That’s true. Two strikes gotta switch the approach up. But that was definitely a ball. Galvan brought the glove so far back over the plate but hey I’ll take it

Unfathomable at the start of the year. Coach of the year for sure. 

[VaHorn]

One more conference win and Texas will equal Schloss’ team last year. 

[Austalgia]

Ahhh, it’s alright little brother.  Big brother did get hurt last week, maybe tomorrow.  🤷

I'm glad Kash keeps losing to the Longhorns...

He coulda been a star here.

Is it time for Longhorn frenzy screenshots?

Really nice to have the series win and not rely on the Sunday game. Bats will need to liven up a good bit if we want to sweep!

He was yappin at the dugout and got himself suspended for Sunday. Classic Aggy

Seems like a good time to post a link to this ESPN article titled "Jim Schlossnagle is at the center of the Texas-Texas A&M storm"

And this is another reason why they hate us so badly - quote from the article when CDC snaked him away from A&M after a meeting at a nearby cemetery -

By Tuesday, June 25, Schlossnagle was the new coach at Texas, and Del Conte regaled reporters with his tale of meeting the coach in a cemetery in Snook, Texas, about 12 miles outside of College Station, when the coach returned from Omaha.

"I left at the crack of dawn, and I knew I could not be seen anywhere in College Station, so I went to the Snook Cemetery and waited for [Schlossnagle] to get back," Del Conte said. "The Snook Cemetery will go down in history."

The timing was stunning. For the Longhorns, it was the ultimate power move. For the Aggies, it was the ultimate betrayal.

This season is one for the records. Shocking on a lot of levels but man it’s fun watching this team.

FINAL: Texas 3, Texas A&M 2

The Longhorns win the game and the series. Texas goes for the sweep of the Aggies tomorrow.

yeah...it turns out the Aggs are good, so these 2 wins are great for the program.

Still a long way to go in the season, but we're on a heater.  Both our strengths and weaknesses are on display.  And that's a great position to be in.

I think Snook Cemetery is where aggy title hopes are buried.

To keep winning even after the two big injuries is most impressive

Anyone have the CDC photo of the cemetery- may come in handy if Texas can sweep tomorrow.

We need Jason Flores to go deep today. Grubbs and Volantis may have a batter or two.

Thanks for posting. That running play by Flores started out as a mistake but the aggy error on the 3rd baseman then a really heads up play by Flores to take home and score turned out to be huge. Mendoza turned it around big time today. Gumbo’s speed on the bases was also huge. I also gotta give credit to the fans. Y’all were awesome! Loved hearing how the fans drowned out the aggy ball five chant. Home field has definitely been an advantage in this series so far.

They are not throwing Volantis 3 days in a row with the series already in the bag.
