Aiden SimsShutout Caps Texas A&M’s Series Win Over Vanderbilt

A weather-forced Friday doubleheader exposed Vanderbilt’s control issues, letting Texas A&M’s pitching reset.

Overview

  • Texas A&M took the SEC series with an 8–4 win and a 12–0 run‑rule on Friday after a 14–8 loss Thursday, marking a second straight conference series victory.
  • Aiden Sims threw a seven‑inning complete‑game shutout in Game 3, allowing three hits with eight strikeouts and no walks in the 12–0 clincher.
  • The Aggies won Game 2 despite just five hits by turning 13 walks and three Vanderbilt errors into steady runs for an 8–4 result.
  • Forecast storms moved the Saturday finale into a Friday doubleheader, which stretched both staffs and magnified A&M’s thin bullpen caused by season‑ending reliever injuries.
  • Vanderbilt’s power showed early — including Colin Barczi’s three homers in Game 1 — yet 22 walks and five errors across the doubleheader undermined the Commodores.
