The No 15 Aggies (12-4) swept Northern Kentucky over the weekend. Games one and two were won with little resistance, however, game three was a battle to the end. Their streak has now been extended to seven games heading to Houston for a midweek showdown against UH.
game one recap
When a team scores eight runs, common thought is it happened over the course of a game. This was not the case in game one as the Aggies scored all eight runs in the second inning. Now, bear with me while we go over the highlights.
The first run was an RBI double by Ryan Targac scoring Austin Bost from second followed by a single by Kaeden Kent placing batters on first and third. Jordan Thompson’s single would see Targac across the plate, and Jace LaViolette would smack an RBI double into center field putting the Aggies up 3-0. An RBI single off the bat of JD Gregson scored Thompson to extend the lead by one. After another single and a walk, the bases were loaded for Austin Bost with two outs. He also provided a base hit scoring Gregson, then the NKU pitcher hit Tragac with a pitch with the bases loaded putting the Aggies a 6-0.

That lead would be good enough to hold the rest of the game even as the Aggie bats went cold. NKU would get a lone run in the top of the eight to avoid the goose egg but that was it.
Final Score: Aggies 8, Norsemen 1 – W: Dettmer, Nathan (1-1); L: Echeman, Kaden (0-1); S: Sexton, Ty (1)

Once again Texas A&M started off the game with early scores. Ryan Targac went yard to center field for the first two runs of the game in the bottom of the first inning. NKU would get a homerun at the top of the third for their only run of the night. However Northern Kentucky would cancel out their own run with a wild pitch allowing Hunter Haas to score and a from third based in a challenged…
