Coach Jim Schlossnagle reached the College World Series five times in 17 years at TCU without winning it all, but he is one win away from making his second appearance in three seasons at Texas A&M.

“Great ball game, I thought we played really well for the most part, we got timely hits. Had some really good at bats against some really good pitchers. Tennessee has a great, diverse pitching staff,” Schlossnagle said Saturday night. “I thought Prager threw some things, Stewie was great, Evan was Evan and Kaeden Kent just continues to play great in the second half of the season. It’s one win, we can’t make more than that. I still have a ball game and a series to win, just like in the regular season.”

The No. 3 Aggies (53-13) will try to win their first national championship in program history against No. 1 Tennessee (58-13) on ABC and ESPN+ on Sunday at 1 p.m.
