A&M Baseball press release
COLLEGE STATION, Texas - The top-ranked Texas A&M Aggies look to carry the momentum of their epic March finish into April as they make their first-ever trip to Lexington for a three-game series against the Kentucky Wildcats. The Maroon and White batted .392 (76-for-194) the last five games of March with eight doubles, one home run, 10 home runs and 53 runs. The Aggies have three players hitting .500 or better over the span, including LOGAN TAYLOR (.563, nine RBI), NICK BANKS (.529, eight runs) and RONNIE GIDEON (.500, two doubles, three home runs, eight RBI). Thursday's game marks ROB CHILDRESS' 600th game as the Aggies' skipper. If he plays all three games, Saturday would be BLAKE ALLEMAND's 200th game played at Texas A&M and he would become the 17th Aggie to appear in 200 games.
