COLLEGE STATION — Sam Houston marched into Aggieland and bounced Texas A&M 9-2 in a midweek clash at Blue Bell Park on Tuesday.
Â
The Bearkats (24-18) got some timely hits and a solid performance from the bullpen to rebound back from a series loss to Utah Valley this past weekend. Sam Houston hit .375 with runners in scoring position.
Â
The Bearkats wasted little time getting on the board in the first inning when Justin Wishkoski was hit by a pitch and stole second base with one out. Tyler Davis, who got the start on the mound, laced a single into right field to bring Wishkoski home for a 1-0 lead.
Â
The Aggies (25-16) matched it in the bottom of the frame with an RBI single by Ryan Targac.
Â
Sam Houston answered right back in the third inning as Joe Redfield led off with a single to center field and a stolen base. With one out, Tyler Davis slapped an RBI double to right, and Walker Janek launched a 414-foot home run to deep left field to make it 4-0.
Â
The Kats put a four spot on the board in the fifth, again with the long ball.
Â
It got started when Janek reached on a fielding error by the shortstop. Jack Tatom moved him to third with a single through the left side to set up an RBI single by Clayton Chadwick.
Â
Myles Jefferson cleared the bases with a towering shot off the scoreboard in left center field to increase the lead to 8-1. Jefferson also tacked on an insurance run when he drove in pinch runner Caleb Cotton, who picked up a stolen base, on an RBI single through the right side.
Â
The Bearkats' bullpen closed the door on Texas A&M.
Â
Rome Shubert stepped in for Davis and tossed two scoreless frames. Marshall Wales gave up a run over 2 2/3 innings, but Logan Hewitt notched five strikeouts in in 2 1/3 shutout frames before giving way to Chandler David who pitched a perfect ninth.
Â
Sam Houston heads to Nacogdoches to open a three-game WAC series against Stephen F. Austin on Friday at 6:30 p.m.
