What is Texas A&M's path to the NCAA Tournament after losing to Georgia?
What is Texas A&M's path to the NCAA Tournament after losing to Georgia? Texas A&M (28-25, 11-19) didn't capitalize off of Justin Lamkin's brilliant day on the mound after throwing a career-high 15 strikeouts in a complete game shut down for just the second time in the last decade for the Aggies. While Lamkin's performance was certainly something to celebrate, the Aggies' Saturday series finale didn't go as planned. While starting pitcher Myles Patton was solid through three innings, including six strikeouts, Georgia's two-run home run led to coach Michael Earley pulling the veteran for reliable reliever Weston Moss, who also allowed a two-run home run, and two more runs before he was pulled for Caden McCoy before Clayton Freshcorn and Kaeden Wilson finished out the game. Trailing 7-4 in the ninth, all four Aggie runs came from three home runs, while Kaeden Kent's solo shot in the ninth was meaningless, as Texas A&M fell 7-5 to finish the regular season with just 11 wins in SEC play. No doubt, the Aggies' season took a significant hit after being swept by last-place Missouri at home, and with today's result, Texas A&M's path to the NCAA Tournament is much clearer. According to D1Baseball's Kendall Rogers, Texas A&M will likely need to win the SEC Tournament next week to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, even though we've been told that 13 or 14 wins in SEC play would be enough to get into the postseason. If Texas A&M had won on Saturday, two or three wins in the conference tournament would have been enough, but the Aggies' resume does not pass the smell test, and no team below 50 in the RPI has ever made the NCAA Tournament. Texas A&M is 55 in the RPI as of Saturday. Contact/Follow us @AggiesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&M news, notes and opinions.

Texas A&M defeats Georgia 6-0 in Game 2 behind SP Justin Lamkin's career performance
Texas A&M defeats Georgia 6-0 in Game 2 behind SP Justin Lamkin's career performance Texas A&M (28-24, 11-18 SEC) was competitive on Thursday during Game 1 of the regular season finale vs. No. 10 Georgia, but ultimately lost the game 10-6 after allowing seven runs in the third inning, while the offense fizzled out after Caden Sorrell's early three-run home run. Still, with two games left to win the series, the Aggies, especially junior pitcher Justin Lamkin, came to play. Lamkin's career night was something to witness, playing a complete game, and striking out a career-high 15 batters, while A&M's offense, like we've seen all season, relied on the long ball to get the job done, as first baseman Gavin Kash hit a three-run homer in the third, followed by catcher Bear Harrison's solo home run in the eighth to mount a 4-0 lead. With Lamkin's dominance on the mound, the Aggies weren't done adding runs, as Kash returned to the plate to deliver a 2 RBI single to produce the fifth and sixth runs, getting closer to shutting the Bulldogs out with a chance to win the series during Saturday's rubber match. While Lamkin's performance was the story of the night, Texas A&M's relentless play proved that this team will continue to fight until the very end. With Caden Sorrell out of the lineup until further notice due to his hand injury, Gavin Kash's three hits and five RBI combined with Kaeden Kent's two hits is a decent sign that other players are stepping up, even though Jace LaViolette continues to struggle at the plate. Texas A&M will face Georgia in the final game of the series on Saturday, May 17 at 11:00 a.m. CT. and will air on the SEC Network.
