No. 4 Texas A&M (42-10, 17-10 SEC) will finish out the regular season vs. the No. 2-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks this weekend, starting with Thursday’s rain-soaked Game 1 after a very, very rainy Thursday afternoon that produced flooding throughout the College Station/Bryan Area.
Nevertheless, baseball will be played, and this series will declare the SEC West victor if the Razorbacks win just one game or if the Aggies can secure the sweep, as far-fetched as that may seem. Throughout the season, Texas A&M’s prolific suddenly took a pause against LSU and Ole Miss, losing both SEC series while salvaging both Game 3 closers.
However, sophomore lefty pitcher Shane Sdao was exceptional on the bump during A&M’s 6-0 shutdown on Sunday night, setting career highs in strikeouts (7) and hits allowed (3) while earning Co-SEC Player of the Week honors. With the regular season approaching, the postseason is upon us, and D1Baseball has released its updated regional projections, so where do the Aggies land?
