COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The No. 3 Texas A&M Aggies look to keep the momentum of a weekend sweep going as they host the Abilene Christian Wildcats in a 6:34 pm contest on Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.
The Aggies seek to start a new midweek win streak. Last week, Texas A&M had a 25-game midweek win streak snapped at Rice.
HUNTER MELTON highlights the Aggie offense. Named the SEC Player of the Week on Monday, Melton has a nine-game hit streak going. Over the span, he is batting .514 (19-for-37) with seven runs, four doubles, one triple, four home runs and 14 RBI. He had three home runs and 10 RBI in the three-game sweep of Georgia.
Over the last seven games, BOOMER WHITE is batting .556 (15-for-27) with six runs, two doubles, one home run and five RBI.
The Aggies are 20-1 at home this season. The pitching staff owns a 1.73 ERA and is holding opponents to a .209 batting average at Blue Bell Park. Offensively, the Aggies are hitting .338 at home, paced by White's .397 average. Melton has 24 runs, six home runs and 34 RBI in 21 games at Blue Bell Park.
The game will be available for viewing on SEC Network + with Will Johnson and Mark Johnson on the call.
