Best social media reactions from Texas A&M's 9-8 upset win over Texas

· Yahoo Sports

Texas A&M's lineup proved just how elite it can be against the top pitching staff in the Southeastern Conference so far this season, as the Aggies notched a 9-8 win over the Texas Longhorns in Game 1 of the Lone Star Showdown on Friday night.

The Aggies had impressive plate approaches against the league's ERA-leading bullpen, as they recorded nine runs on seven hits with eight RBI and a solo home run from Nico Partida. Texas A&M hitters also drew seven walks in the series opener against Texas.

Needless to say, it wasn't the warmest of welcomes back to Bryan-College Station for Texas head coach Jim Schlossnagle. While the Aggie pitching rotation gave up four home runs, including back-to-back solo shots in the top of the ninth, they came in clutch when it mattered the most against a powerful Texas lineup.

Left-hander Shane Sdao struck out six and allowed four earned runs in 4.0 innings pitched in his start on the bump, while Ethan Darden and Clayton Freshcorn combined for five strikeouts and helped close out the win for the Maroon and White.
