Texas A&M baseball pounded Georgia 18-5 behind Nico Partida’s grand slam and six RBI, while Aiden Sims struck out eight to help the Aggies avoid a sweep.
Texas A&M baseball delivered the kind of response it badly needed Sunday, rolling past Georgia 18-5 at Blue Bell Park to salvage the final game of the SEC series.
After dropping the first two games, the Aggies leaned on a huge day from Nico Partida, a steady outing from Aiden Sims and an offense that never let up.
For a Texas A&M team searching for momentum in SEC play, this was a much-needed statement. The Aggies racked up 16 hits, drove in 16 runs and overwhelmed Georgia with one crooked number after another.
Partida led the charge with a monster performance, finishing with six RBI and blowing the game open with a grand slam in the fourth inning.
The Aggies pushed across two runs in the first, added another in the second and then kept building pressure in the third before Partida’s blast turned a competitive game into a runaway.
By the fifth inning, Georgia’s pitching staff was simply trying to stop the bleeding as Texas A&M continued piling on runs with timely hits, patient at-bats and constant traffic on the bases.
While the bats grabbed the spotlight, Sims gave the Aggies exactly what they needed on the mound.
The right-hander struck out eight over 5.2 innings and kept Georgia from stringing together much of anything offensively after an early solo homer. His outing gave Texas A&M the stability to let the offense take over.
Partida wasn’t alone, either. Gavin Grahovac, Caden Sorrell, Chris Hacopian, Jake Duer and Blake Binderup all contributed to a relentless attack that kept Georgia on its heels throughout the afternoon.
Now the Aggies turn their attention to HCU before heading to Missouri for another important SEC weekend.
If Texas A&M can carry this offensive surge into the next series, Sunday’s breakout win may end up being more than just a salvage job. It could be a turning point.
