On Wednesday evening, the seventh ranked Texas A&M Aggies, came from behind to defeat the Prairie View A&M Panthers in a midweek matchup.
Two way prospect, Braden Montgomery, got the start on the mound and struggled. In one inning on the mound, Montgomery struck out one batter and allowed one hit, four walks, and four earned runs.
Isaac Morton got the win out of the bullpen for Texas A&M as he threw 2.2 scoreless innings to close out the game. He allowed zero base runners and struck out four batters.
Corey Battey got the start for the Panthers and did not do good. In two innings on the mound, Battey struck out one batter and allowed four hits, four walks, and five earned runs.

The Panthers picked up another run in the second inning on a run scoring groundout by Michael Smith.

In the third inning, Garland Parker tied the game up with a run scoring single and in the fourth, Michael Smith hit a two run home run to give the Panthers a 7-5 lead.

Texas A&M was down 9-6 going into the eighth inning, but a rally started by Hayden Schott changed things. In the eighth inning, Schott hit a run scoring double, Ali Camarillo hit a run scoring single, Jackson Appel hit a run scoring double, and Gavin Grahovac hit a run scoring single to give the Aggies an 11-9 lead.
