MORGANTOWN, WV — The No. 19 Texas A&M Aggies face the No. 15 West Virginia Mountaineers in Sunday’s NCAA Morgantown Regional elimination game at Monongalia County Ballpark. First pitch is slated for 11:06 a.m.
The Aggies look to build on Saturday’s 11-2 victory over Fordham. The Maroon & White need three more wins to claim the regional crown. Texas A&M has emerged from the losers’ bracket to win a regional title on three occasions, most recently in 2015.
Texas A&M has never played West Virginia on the baseball diamond.
Christian Roa takes the mound for the Aggies, entering the fray with a 3-2 record, 3.22 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 44.2 innings.
Texas A&M’s offense at the regional has been paced by Hunter Coleman. The junior first baseman is batting .667 (4-for-6) with five runs, two walks, one HBP, one double, two home runs, five RBI and one stolen base.
The Aggies are 85-78 all-time in NCAA Championship play, including a 72-49 mark in regional action. Texas A&M has won regionals in 1993, ‘99, ‘04, ‘07, ‘08, ‘11, ’15, ’16 and ‘17. They also captured a district playoff title in 1951 before regional play began.
