Texas A&M kicked off the 2026 season with a sweep of Tennessee Tech last weekend. The Aggies defeated the Golden Eagles 15-6, 23-7 and 7-1. Caden Sorrell is off to a hot start this season, going 9-for-15 with three homers and 10 RBIs. Following up on the series sweep, the Aggies defeated Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in midweek, defeating the Islanders 8-3.
Texas A&M looks to keep the momentum going this weekend by welcoming Payne to Olsen Field. The weekend series marks the Quakers’ first action of the season after going 21-20 (13-8) in conference play in 2025. While 25 years isn’t a high mark for Penn State, the program has enjoyed Ivy League success in three of the last four seasons, winning either the regular season or tournament title.

One thing to note this weekend, according to head coach Michael Earley, is that star slugger Chris Hacopian is a bit injured. Hakopian was included in the projected starting lineup, but it sounds like he may make his decision in Friday’s game. We will pay close attention to his subsequent status.
