Aggies Win: Texas A&M Beats Texas in the SEC Tournament with a Record-Breaking 14-Run Explosion
In a thrilling chapter of SEC baseball history, the Texas A&M Aggies delivered a jaw-dropping 14-run offensive onslaught to crush their archrivals, the Texas Longhorns, in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament. The final score: 14-3, a resounding, record-setting performance that left fans stunned and the scoreboard blazing. For the first time in SEC tournament history, the Aggies posted the most runs ever scored in a single inning—an eight-run third that tore the game wide open.
From the opening pitch at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium, the atmosphere was electric. A crowd of over 12,000 packed the stands, a sea of maroon and burnt orange roaring with anticipation. Texas A&M came out swinging—literally. Senior outfielder Jace Waggoner ignited the rally in the second inning with a towering solo homer over left field, sending a ripple of momentum through the Aggie dugout. What followed was an offensive cascade that overwhelmed the Longhorns’ bullpen.
The third inning proved historic. After loading the bases with two walks and a bunt single, the Aggies unleashed a merciless barrage of hits. Clean-up hitter Mason Holt smashed a bases-clearing triple down the right-field line. Not to be outdone, sophomore slugger Elijah Boone added a two-run double that nearly left the park. By the time Texas finally recorded three outs, A&M had crossed the plate eight times, leaving Texas stunned and their starter yanked before recording a single out that inning.
On the mound, A&M starter Kade Winters delivered a masterclass in control and composure. He tossed seven solid innings, striking out nine and allowing just two earned runs. His fastball command kept Texas batters off balance, and he navigated out of a bases-loaded jam in the fifth with back-to-back strikeouts, slamming the door on any hopes of a Longhorn comeback.
Defensively, the Aggies were just as sharp. Center fielder Trey Knox made a leaping catch at the wall to rob Texas of a potential three-run bomb in the seventh—an exclamation point on a night that belonged entirely to A&M.
By the end of the game, Texas A&M had tallied 17 hits from eight different players. Their relentless pressure forced four pitching changes from the Texas side, none of whom could slow the Aggie barrage.
“We came here with a point to prove,” said Coach Jim Schlossnagle in the postgame press conference. “These boys have worked too hard to let rivalry pressure rattle them. Tonight, we played Aggie baseball—aggressive, fearless, and together.”
With the win, Texas A&M punches its ticket to the SEC semifinals and sends a powerful message to the rest of the field: the Aggies are not just here to compete—they’re here to conquer. For fans of the Maroon and White, the victory was more than just a win. It was a statement of dominance, a record-breaker, and a night they’ll never forget.
