'A&M's outpitching us': Former Texas A&M head coach on series loss
Here's what former Texas A&M head coach Jim Schlossnagle said after the series loss to the Aggies.
Texas A&M baseball's former head coach returned to Bryan-College Station to face the Aggies for the first time as conference foes and will head back to Austin after Game 3 with a series loss against the Maroon and White. In his second season as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns , Jim Schlossnagle has achieved great success. Entering the weekend, Texas ranked No.
2 in the country, was atop the SEC standings and led the conference in ERA. Schlossnagle encountered a massive roadblock in the form of a powerful Texas A&M lineup and bubbles floating all around Blue Bell Park so far this weekend, however. Through the first two games of the Lone Star Showdown series, Schlossnagle's club has allowed 20 runs on 16 hits, including two home runs.
While the Aggies have continued to display an elite knack for solid at-bats, the Maroon and White bullpen performed excellently by only allowing four runs on seven hits and striking out eight in Game 2 to secure the series win over the Longhorns . After departing the program to become the new head coach at the rival program in the state, Schlossnagle has much cleaning up to do to avoid losing all three games to Texas A&M this weekend. Here is what Schlossnagle had to say about the series loss against his former club, according to Texas On3 Sports reporter Evan Vieth , and what he will be looking for to avoid the sweep against the Aggies on Sunday afternoon: Schlossnagle seemed "pleased" with his bullpen's performance against the Aggies, after giving up 11 runs on nine hits in the loss Schlossnagle seemed quite pleased with his bullpen in this one.
