NORTH CAROLINA A&T AGGIES STORYLINES 

  • The North Carolina A&T baseball stressed overcoming adversity during the offseason. In the Aggies first series of the season, they put their offseason training into practice. 
  • Over the weekend, A&T swept a three-game series from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES). In the process, the Aggies responded to a UMES rally in the first game, and they used an RBI walk-off double by Canyon Brown to win 5-4 in 10 innings at War Memorial Stadium. 
  • It was a big weekend for the A&T bats. The Aggies hit .345 for the weekend, scored 23 runs, recorded 21 RBI and hit two home runs. They also recorded 38 hits, nine extra base hits, and had a .896 on-base percentage and a .491 slugging percentage. 
  • In only nine at-bats, Brown went 4-for-9 with two doubles, five RBI and a home run. A member of the Big South Conference's all-freshman team and honorable mention all-conference squad last season, Brown also recorded a 1.444 on-base percentage, a 1.000 slugging percentage, and totaled nine bases. 
  • Junior Anthony Hennings had a good weekend, batting .500 (7-for-14). Fellow junior Cort Maynard led the Aggies with six runs scored. He also went 6-for-13 (.462), totaled eight bases, and recorded a 1.077 on-base percentage and a .615 slugging percentage. 
  • Jaheim Brown had a quality start for the Aggies on Sunday. He went 5 1/3 innings without giving up an earned run and striking out five. Trent Simmons won in relief after going 4 2/3 and striking out three. 
  • Game 2 Saturday starter Daniel Carter posted nine strikeouts in earning his first win of the season. 
  • Graduate Luke Brown and junior Connor Blantz combined to slow down the Hawks in Game 1, with Blantz picking up the win after going 4 1/3 and surrendering only two hits and one run. 
  • The Aggies face a Davidson team coming off a 1-2 weekend at home against New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). The Wildcats' lone win in the series came on Friday when they downed NJIT 4-3. 
  • The Highlanders went on to score 26 runs over the final two games. The Highlanders used 13 hits and five Davidson errors to win Game 2, 12-4, before pounding out 13 hits to win 14-6 on Sunday. 
  • Davidson only hit .179 for the weekend. But in eight at-bats, Ryan Wilson recorded four hits, had two doubles, drove in five runs and totaled nine bases. He also walked five times and had 1.889 on-base and 1.125 slugging percentages. 
  • The Wildcats and the Aggies split two games last season. A&T won in Greensboro, 3-2 in 13 innings on two hits. Earlier in the season, Davidson won at home, 3-0, on a three-hit shutout. 
  • Wilson returns to the lineup for the Wildcats after batting .366 last season with eight homers, 56 RBI, 18 doubles and 63 runs scored. He also had a 1.077 on-base percentage and a .571 slugging percentage. 
  • Head coach Ben Hall leads the Aggies in his ninth season. He has 159 wins, one conference tournament championship, one NCAA tournament appearance and two regular-season conference championships.
