Caden Sorrell blasted two homers against Tarleton State, reaching 43 career home runs and tying Mike Scanlin for fifth in Texas A&M history.
Caden Sorrell gave Texas A&M baseball exactly what it needed Tuesday night ... loud contact, quick answers and another climb up the Aggies’ record book.
In a wild midweek matchup against Tarleton State at Blue Bell Park, Sorrell became the biggest story for Texas A&M despite the game turning into the kind of unpredictable slugfest that can define weekday college baseball.
The junior outfielder hammered two solo home runs, pushing his season total to 20 and his career total to 43.
That second number matters. With 43 career homers, Sorrell moved into a tie with Mike Scanlin for fifth place on Texas A&M’s all-time home run list.
He’s now firmly among the most powerful hitters in Aggies history, trailing only a select group led by Jace LaViolette, who owns the school record with 57.
Sorrell’s bounce-back performance came at the right time. After going just 1-for-14 during the weekend series against Florida, he wasted no time changing the tone.
He opened the scoring in the bottom of the first inning with a solo shot that gave Texas A&M a 1-0 lead.
Tarleton State didn’t go quietly, turning the game into a back-and-forth battle.
But Sorrell answered again in the fifth inning, launching another solo homer to cut the deficit to 5-4 and bring Blue Bell Park back to life.
His 20th home run of the season also tied him for the seventh-most in a single season in Texas A&M history, adding another milestone to a night full of them.
For the Aggies, Sorrell’s surge was more than one big game. It was a reminder that their lineup still has serious punch, and one of their veteran bats is heating up at the perfect time.
