Texas A&M baseball joined the history books Saturday, recording a massive comeback victory over South Carolina after being down by as many as nine runs. The Aggies pulled off the thrilling walkoff win with two grand slams in the final inning to win 15-12.
The Gamecocks went ahead 12-3 after the sixth inning, powered by a seven-run fifth inning. But Texas A&M chipped away and was down 12-7 heading into the ninth.
After the Aggies loaded the bases, pinch hitter Hayden Schott pulled Texas A&M within one run after hitting the first grand slam of the inning. Shortstop Kaeden Kent then hit the second to give the Aggies the walkoff win.
Kent, who led the team with four runs and four hits, scored on the first grand slam as well. Then, the junior became his team's hero with a slam of his own.
It's the 24th time in NCAA history a team has hit two grand slams in an inning, according to the record book. The last time that happened was in 2018; it's just the fourth double-grand slam inning in the past 20 years in the NCAA.
With Saturday's win, the Aggies swept the three-game series and moved to 6-9 in the SEC (20-15 overall). Texas A&M is now on a six-game win streak, beating the Gamecocks 8-7 on Thursday in 10 innings and 17-0 on Friday via mercy rule.
