Texas A&M answered immediately in the bottom half. The Aggies strung together multiple hits, plating three runs and extending the lead to 5-1. They added two more in the sixth to create separation.
Logan Moller (0-1) took the loss for Tech, allowing five runs on eight hits over 3 2/3 innings. Carter Casabella surrendered two runs in relief, while Reece McDuffie provided 2 1/3 scoreless innings to close the game.
Landon Smelser, Owen Lee, and Connor Crowson each recorded a hit for Tennessee Tech, with Crowson's double accounting for the club's only extra-base knock.
Despite the sweep, the Golden Eagles showed resilience on the mound late and avoided defensive miscues outside of a lone error.
