Texas A&M rides another late rally to series-clinching win over Mississippi State
Texas A&M is scorching hot right now, and the Aggies have shown a flair to turn things on late in games this season.
Last weekend, it was a wild come-from-behind win against South Carolina in improbable fashion. That one ended on a walk-off home run from Brett Minnich for the Aggies.
Opening a weekend series vs. Mississippi State Friday night, Texas A&M poured across 4 runs in the bottom of the 7th. That gave the Aggies another late rally and an 8-7 win.
Saturday proved to be a similar story for the Aggies. Trailing 5-4 heading into the 7th, Jack Moss gave A&M the lead with a 2-run double. After the Bulldogs tied it, Ryan Targac put the Aggies back on top for good in the bottom of the 8th.
I heard @jackmoss22 was a boss.
Aggies lead.

A&M scored 5 runs from the 7th inning on to take the win, 9-6. It gives the Aggies their 6th-straight series win going back to the beginning of April vs. Kentucky.
Now, A&M can go for the sweep in Sunday’s series finale.
Gig ’em!
Pain. Feels like we’ve been right there a lot of games, just haven’t been able to keep it together in the 9th. Feels like ages ago when we were that team that was always rallying.
Think I’ll be watching the recordings from last year’s CWS for therapy.
