Texas A&M Set to Clash with Texas State in NCAA Regional Showdown

Following a thrilling 7-5 victory against Lamar in their first game of the regional, Texas A&M is gearing up to take on Texas State for the third time this season. The Aggies’ comeback win on Friday marked their first regional game since 2019 and was notable for overcoming a deficit of five runs or more. Key performances from first baseman Gavin Grahovac and Chris Hacopian, who both hit crucial home runs in the fifth inning, ignited the Aggies' offense after a challenging start.

Earlier this season, Texas A&M claimed a 9-6 victory over the Bobcats on March 17 but faced a narrow defeat, losing 9-8 in San Marcos on April 7. Texas State, having established themselves as the home run leaders in the Sun Belt Conference, advanced to this matchup by edging out USC with a dramatic two-run homer from Chase Mora in the ninth inning.

The stakes are elevated for this upcoming game at Blue Bell Park, as the winning team will progress to the regional finals, while the losing team will have to fight for survival in an elimination game against USC. Texas A&M plans to start right-handed pitcher Weston Moss, who has a record of 10-4 and a 5.84 ERA, while Texas State will counter with left-hander Jesus Tovar, boasting a 9-3 record and a 5.24 ERA this season.

Viewers can catch the action of this pivotal matchup scheduled for May 30 at 8 p.m. CT on ESPN2. For fans looking to follow along, the game will also be available for streaming on ESPN+ and through local radio on Sports Radio 1150/93.7 The Zone.
