The winner of this game will advance to play No. 2 Kentucky in the “winner’s bracket” of the 2024 College World Series on Monday, whereas the loser will see NC State in the lower bracket.
Texas A&M is appearing in its second College World Series in the last three years. The Aggies are 2-2 in the CWS under manager Jim Schlossnagle. This go around, Texas A&M will be without its star outfielder Braden Montgomery as he sustained a season-ending lower leg injury last Saturday in the Bryan-College Station Super Regional vs. Oregon.
