Aggie fans & media react to Texas A&M' baseball's home win over Elon
Texas A&M pulled out a win in front of a packed crowd at Blue Bell Park to give Mike Earley his first victory as the Aggies head coach.
The Elon All-American starting pitcher was able to frustrate the A&M hitters through the first five innings as he dueled with All-American Ryan Prager. Neither pitcher allowed any runs halfway through the game leaving Aggies fans on pins and needles while Elon fans' confidence grew inning by inning. The sixth inning is when we finally saw some action with Elon getting on the board first scoring two runs.
A&M would answer in less than dramatic fashion. After back-to-back hits transfers Wyatt Henseler and Gavin Kash the Elon relief pitchers would three Aggies in a row make the very first score of the 2025 A&M season an RBI walk credited to Kaeden Kent. Then a wild pitch helped allow the Aggies their third run of the inning and the lead. The only other score of the game was a home run hit by first baseman Blake Binderup.
Overall, it wasn't as ugly as the Texas A&M basketball game jerseys against Arkansas, but they did struggle to get some hits early. Their discipline at the plate was the major factor in them putting points on the board when they needed it most. As for the pitching, it's still early and pitching coach Jason Kelly might need to get a few more arms in rotation to evaluate see who he can depend on late in the season.

Wasn't pretty or comfortable, but No. 1 Texas A&M is 1-0Prager was good. The offense did enough late. Clayton Freshcorn is pretty electric and nailed down a four-out save.Back at it tomorrow at 2 p.m. CT. https://t.co/ZmCjdqfP8E

Sluggish start. Crummy weather. No worries, Aggies handle business and take the season opener giving Michael Earley his first career win as head coach. https://t.co/XTzOL3z6bL

FINAL: No. 1 Texas A&M 4, Elon 2.Far from the best A&M will play this season, but Ryan Prager (only one hit through five scoreless innings with eight strikeouts) and Blake Binderup (2 of 3 with a homer and a walk) were excellent. Two scoreless for Moss and one for Freshcorn.

Florida A&M places Angela Suggs on administrative leave following arrest
The post Florida A&M places Angela Suggs on administrative leave following arrest appeared first on ClutchPoints. Following her arrest, Florida A&M has placed Angela Suggs on administrative leave. Suggs faces charges of grand theft, scheme to defraud, and four misdemeanor counts for submitting false travel voucher claims, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The Florida A&M alumna surrendered earlier on Monday and was released on a $13,500 bond shortly after 2:30 p.m., according to court records. Per a statement by interim president Dr. Timothy Beard to HBCU Gameday, Suggs was placed on leave with pay until further notice and deputy directors of athletics Travis Glasgow and Brittney Johnson will run operations. Sugg's arrest and subsequent investigation and charges stem from her work with the Florida Sports Foundation, in which she served as president of the organization. The Florida Sports Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization that serves as the Sports Industry Development Division for the State of Florida. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement released a statement detailing the scope of their investigation. 'The investigation began in November 2024 after FDLE received a criminal referral from the Florida Department of Commerce's Inspector General with an audit of Suggs' business credit card purchases and corresponding travel reimbursements,' the statement read. 'The investigation revealed Suggs misused her FSF-issued credit card to make wire transfers and cash withdraws and personal purchases at casinos during business trips, totaling more than $24,000. The statement continued, 'When asked about the unauthorized charges, Suggs claimed some were for business meals and others were accidentally charged to the business card. She failed to fully repay (the foundation) for her personal expenditures.' In September 2024, Suggs was appointed Athletic Director at Florida A&M University, succeeding Tiffani-Dawn Sykes. A proud Tallahassee native and FAMU alum, Suggs has a longstanding connection to FAMU Athletics. Suggs recently facilitated the hiring of Florida State legend Charlie Ward to become the next basketball coach for the institution.

Top prospect Roman Anthony gets first career hit in second MLB game
BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony, the top-rated prospect in all of baseball, hit a two-run double on Tuesday night in Boston's game against Tampa Bay for his first career base hit. A day after going hitless with an RBI groundout in his major league debut, Anthony came up with runners on second and third in the first inning and drove the ball to left to give the Red Sox a 2-0 lead. The 21-year-old second-round draft pick went viral over the weekend when he hit a 497-foot grand slam in Triple-A Worcester. He batted .288 with 10 homers and 29 RBIs in 58 games for the WooSox this season. ___
