Catcher Troy Claunch says A&M’s fans will make the intense heat at this weekend’s College Station Super Regional clash with Louisville easier to take.COLLEGE STATION — Coach Dan McDonnell traded his stock Louisville baseball cap for a wide-brimmed hat during Thursday’s practice in near 100-degree heat at Texas A&M’s Blue Bell Park.
And being in the heat to boot. Saturday’s Game 2 of the best-of-three series is scheduled to start at 2 p.m., when it’s forecast to be around 100 degrees.A&M first-year coach Jim Schlossnagle has been the visitor in a hot super regional at the park named for ice cream, and he recalled that it got so toasty in 2016 that the umpire sweated through his pants and right into his bag of game balls, soaking them.
The Cardinals defeated the Aggies 8-4 in their 2017 CWS opener, and A&M under then-coach Rob Childress followed with a loss to Schlossnagle’s TCU squad that sent the Aggies packing from Omaha. The contests are expected to be sellouts, and A&M fans packed Blue Bell last weekend as the Aggies swept through their regional with wins over Oral Roberts, Louisiana and TCU.“This is a really special place,” said A&M senior catcher Troy Claunch, a transfer from Oregon State. “And whenever you have the 12th Man behind you, you know you have a shot.”
Schlossnagle said after the loss to UH that he practically pouted in his office and told himself, “Don’t let these guys down,” referring to transfers such as Claunch who’d believed in him enough to play their final seasons at A&M.
