Texas A&M clinches SEC series with 7–5 win over Ole Miss
Texas A&M extended its win streak to four, using a big third inning and late defense to beat Ole Miss 7–5 and clinch another SEC series on the road.
Texas A&M extended its win streak to four games and secured another SEC series victory on Saturday, taking down Ole Miss 7–5 in Game 2. With the postseason picture sharpening, the Aggies continue to strengthen their case for a regional hosting spot. There’s still work to do in the final stretch of the regular season, but they’ve consistently handled the conference matchups they’re expected to win.
Unlike Friday’s explosive start , Saturday’s game stayed tight early. A&M struck first when Tallen Edwards lifted a sacrifice fly in the top of the first, but a free pass in the bottom half allowed Ole Miss to even the score at 1–1. The Aggies responded with a productive third inning that gave them the breathing room they’d need.
With two outs and two aboard, Ariel Kowalewski delivered an RBI single to put A&M back in front. Moments later, centerfielder Kelsey Mathis launched a three‑run home run to push the lead to 5–1. Ole Miss, much like in Game 1, chipped away.
A run in the bottom of the third and the Rebels’ second home run of the afternoon tied the game at 5–5. A&M answered immediately. A costly Ole Miss fielding error opened the door for two unearned runs, giving the Aggies a 7–5 advantage with two innings to play.
