The last time Texas A&M baseball battled back for a regional victory down five runs or more was in 2019 against West Virginia, but the Aggies rewrote history at Blue Bell Park in the Bryan-College Station Regional opener on Friday.
After concluding the 2025 season without an appearance in the postseason, the Aggies secured a host for the first time since 2024 and etched their names into the history books again with their comeback win over Lamar on Friday.
The Cardinals jumped out to a 5-0 lead through five innings, but Gavin Grahovac’s solo blast and Chris Hacopian’s two-run homer led the charge for an epic comeback in College Station. Texas A&M scored seven unanswered runs to capture a 7-5 victory over Lamar and advance to the winner’s bracket for a showdown against either Texas State or USC.
Here are some of the best social media reactions from Texas A&M’s comeback win over Lamar on Friday:

Aggies rebound and take the game from the Cardinals
It ain’t a beauty contest…
Aggies start sleepy but rebound in the back half of the game. The offense got going behind Gavin Grahovac, Caden Sorrell, and Chris Hacopian.
Gavin Lyons and Clayton Freshcorn were outstanding in relief https://t.co/vOoyWMAKeK

Gritty win for the Aggies in the regional opener
Hell of a win. Hell of a win. Couple hosts got nipped today, and I’m over the moon that we weren’t one of them.
Immaculate job out of the pen from Lyons and Freshcorn. I thought the move to Chestnut in the eighth was brilliant.
We get the winner of State/USCw tomorrow.
