Diamond Thoughts: Aggies hit final week with ultimate goal in sight
Once again deftly handling the grind of the elite SEC slate, No. 2 Texas A&M hit the road and took a series from No. 9 USC to position itself as a near-lock for a national seed. However, the four games remaining will determine the outcome of the Aggies' season.
1, 2, 3 Baseball Thoughts: Texas A&M 3, South Carolina 0
In a series opener worthy of a top-10 SEC clash, No. 2 Texas A&M and No. 9 South Carolina went into the seventh inning knotted at 0-0. Unlikely heroes at the plate and another elite effort on the mound made the difference for the Aggies, who took Friday's game 3-0.

Diamond Thoughts: Texas A&M's clear path to a national seed
It's that characteristic all elite teams have: when push comes to shove, at the plate or on the mound, Texas A&M finds a way to win. Holding at No. 2 in the polls, the Aggies have positioned themselves well for a top-eight seed; with two series left, they can take it.
1, 2, 3 Baseball Thoughts: Texas A&M 1, Vanderbilt 0
In a meeting between two of the SEC's titans, pitching was the story of Game 1. Turner Larkins, Andrew Vinson and Mark Ecker combined to make a single first-inning run stand for Texas A&M, as the No. 2 Aggies shut out No. 8 Vanderbilt on Thursday night.

The TexAgs National Average Rating is a proprietary formula that calculates an
industry-wide aggregate rating for each recruiting prospect. The formula includes
publicly listed grades, scores, ratings and rankings by national recruiting services,
along with a TexAgs rating. Combining the data provides a rating for each prospect,
which is then normalized to fit the TexAgs Rating 100-point scale.
The intent of this rating is to provide TexAgs readers with a comprehensive snapshot of
how individual prospects rank nationally.
