In the wake of freshman shortstop Boston Kellner's walk-off single in Game 1, No. 24 Texas A&M baseball again found itself relying on late-game heroics to take down Penn. This time, it was sophomore second baseman Sawyer Farr to the rescue, as his walk-off walk secured the Aggies a narrow 2-1 victory over the Quakers at Olsen Field.

Why it matters

The win marks the second straight down-to-the-wire victory for the Aggies, who are looking to secure their second series sweep of the season against Penn. The team's homerun leader, junior center fielder Caden Sorrell, was sidelined with a right hand injury, making Farr's heroics even more crucial.

The details

Junior right-handed pitcher Weston Moss held his own for the Aggies, surrendering just one run through six innings while racking up eight strikeouts. Penn's junior left-handed pitcher Marty Coyne was dominant, allowing zero runs through five innings and racking up nine strikeouts. The Quakers managed to take a 1-0 lead in the third inning, but the Aggies rallied in the ninth, tying the game on a wild pitch. In the 11th inning, Farr drew a walk-off walk to secure the 2-1 victory for Texas A&M.

  • The game was played on Saturday, February 21, 2026.
  • Game 3 of the series will be played on Sunday, February 22, 2026 at 1 p.m.
