Game 54 - Sam Houston State at Texas A&M

March 31 at Blue Bell Park in College Station, TX
SEC Network

A&M is ranked No. 2 in Baseball America's top 25, so based on Tuesday's bottom of the third inning, I'd have to put Sam Houston State at 4,032.

The Aggies not only scored 13 runs in the frame, but the first 11 batters recorded a hit, tying the Division I record for consecutive hits (Oakland vs. Southern Utah in 2008 and Cal State-Los Angeles vs. UCSB in 1977). In the inning, a program-record four home runs were hit, including two from Ronnie Gideon, whose first blast landed just a few miles from Sam Houston's campus in Huntsville.

The half inning lasted 44 minutes, which includes the three pitching changes made by the visiting Bearkats.

* SHSU right fielder Wyatt Powell slid and caught Ryne Birk's sinking liner in the eighth keeping Birk a single short of the cycle.

* Sam Houston junior outfielder Romeo Cortina? Welcome to the Webb Bobo All Stars.
