College Station, Texas
Texas A&M University defeated Louisiana State University (LSU) 6-4 on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at Blue Bell Park, claiming a series victory after facing a late-game surge. The Aggies’ win was highlighted by a pivotal three-run home run from Caden Sorrell in the eighth inning, turning the tide in favor of Texas A&M after LSU had built a 4-2 lead.
After the game entered the eighth inning with LSU ahead, they were one out away from closing the frame when Sorrell’s home run shifted momentum and ultimately secured the victory for Texas A&M. This loss marked a disappointing end for LSU, who had positioned themselves for a series victory earlier in the weekend.
In the early stages of the game, LSU’s offense exhibited struggles, managing only seven hits and hitting 3 for 11 with runners on base. The Tigers did not score during the first three innings, but they found their rhythm in the fourth, capitalizing on Texas A&M’s defensive errors. Senior catcher Luis Hernandez pushed the team ahead with a two-run homer in the sixth inning, allowing LSU to take a 4-2 lead before the Aggies’ late-game comeback.
Pitching and Defense
LSU’s pitching staff faced challenges throughout the match. Redshirt sophomore right-hander Chase Shores started the game, recording two strikeouts but was removed after permitting a runner on third base. He was succeeded by junior left-hander Conner Ware, who allowed an infield single cutting the lead to 4-3. Junior right-hander Zac Cowan, who had previously been consistent in Southeastern Conference play, allowed two hits, including the decisive home run by Sorrell.
Freshman right-hander Casan Evans made his second start for LSU, displaying a solid effort by allowing just one earned run over 3â…“ innings, throwing a total of 93 pitches. However, after he exited, the bullpen struggled to maintain the lead.
Offensive Performance
LSU’s offense showed brief sparks, particularly in the fourth inning where they scored two runs. The inning featured a double off the wall by Hernandez, alongside a scampered run home for senior Michael Braswell due to a dropped ball by Texas A&M’s catcher, Bear Harrison. Sophomore Steven Milam capped off the inning with a single that brought home another run. However, the team’s overall performance was hindered by an inability to sustain offensive pressure.
In addition to Hernandez’s two-run shot, he was the only Tiger with multiple hits during the contest, emphasizing the need for a more consistent offensive output, especially in tight games. Coach Jay Johnson acknowledged that a team must have their best players performing well in order to win in this competitive league.
Next Steps for LSU
Following the loss, LSU will regroup and focus on their next matchup against Grambling State, scheduled for Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at Alex Box Stadium. The team aims to bounce back as they transition into the next stretch of their season following this tough series defeat.
