Texas A&M’s Ryan Prager dominated the Kentucky Wildcats in the College World Series, holding them without a hit until the seventh inning in a 5-1 victory on Monday.

The Aggies’ pitcher, known for his exceptional skills, left the Kentucky batsmen struggling to find their rhythm throughout the game.

Prager’s impressive performance was highlighted by his no-hitter in the seventh inning, which was broken up by a base hit with one out remaining. This remarkable feat showcased his ability to maintain his composure under pressure and keep the Wildcats at bay.The Aggies’ offense, led by designated hitter Hayden Schott, who drove in two runs, and Ali Camarillo and Kaeden Kent, who added to the scoring, proved to be too much for Kentucky. Texas A&M’s five-run sixth inning, which saw the team bat around and send 10 players to the plate, sealed the deal for the Aggies.

Kentucky’s Ryan Nicholson managed to hit a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, but it was too little, too late. The loss puts the Wildcats in a tough spot, as they now face Florida in an elimination game on Tuesday. The winner of this contest will move on to face Texas A&M again on Wednesday, with the Aggies looking to secure a spot in the best-of-three CWS championship series.

Texas A&M’s victory marks a significant milestone for the team, which has been dealing with season-ending injuries to key players. Despite these setbacks, the Aggies have managed to dig deep and make it to the College World Series, where they are now one step closer to the championship.

The Aggies will rely on left-hander Ryan Prager to shut down the Kentucky attack once again, while Memorial High School product Jackson Appel will be crucial behind the plate. With their sights set on the title, Texas A&M is poised to make a strong push in the remaining games of the tournament.
