No. 25 Texas A&M baseball defeated Missouri 14-6 in Game 2 of their three-game series on Saturday, March 28. The Aggies jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning and then exploded for an 8-run third inning to take control of the game. Junior center fielder Caden Sorrell and junior first baseman Gavin Grahovac each hit home runs for A&M, while freshman third baseman Nico Partida added another homer in the eighth inning. The Tigers mounted a comeback in the fourth inning, scoring four runs, but the Aggies' offense proved too much as they cruised to the victory.
