Texas A&M baseball routs Lamar, 25-5 in seven innings

The bats were hot, and bubbles were aplenty in Texas A&M baseball’s home contest against Lamar, as the Aggies hit .545 with five home runs in a 25-5 rout of the Cardinals at Blue Bell Park on Tuesday night.

Two wild pitches and a Boston Kellner two-run homer got the scoring party started early for the Maroon and White in the bottom of the first. After missing game three of the weekend series against Penn, outfielder Caden Sorrell mashed a solo shot in the following inning to extend Texas A&M’s lead to 6-0 over Lamar.

The Cardinals were not going down without a fight, however. Left fielder Brayden Evans knocked a solo homer to right field and third baseman Kevin Duran followed suit with a two-run blast to notch three runs in the top of the fourth inning.

Lamar’s rally was short-lived, as Sorrell secured his second home run of the contest with a grand slam into the bullpen in right field to put the contest well out of reach. In his return to the diamond following a hand injury, the junior from Highland Village, Texas, recorded a .429 batting average with two homers and six RBI against the Cardinals.
