Texas A&M Sweeps Penn to Start 7–0 as Sims Dominates Series Finale

Relentless pitching paired with late poise carried A&M despite persistent strikeout woes.

Overview

  • Sophomore Aiden Sims set career highs with seven innings and ten strikeouts in Sunday’s 7–1 win to close the sweep.
  • The Aggies walked off the first two games, with freshman Boston Kellner ending Game 1 and Sawyer Farr tying the ninth and forcing in the winner in the 11th of Game 2.
  • A&M’s lineup sputtered early, striking out 17 times in Game 2 and managing only three runs across the first two games, before nine hits and a Nico Partida home run keyed the finale.
  • Head coach Michael Earley described outfielder Caden Sorrell’s stitched right hand as day-to-day based on swing comfort, and transfer infielder Chris Hacopian remains day-to-day with illness and back stiffness.
  • Texas A&M hosts Lamar on Tuesday before a neutral-site weekend in Arlington against Virginia Tech, UCLA and Arizona State.
