Down five in the 9th, the Aggies hit two grand slams to walk it off and complete the stunning sweep.

In one of the most jaw-dropping, unforgettable moments in college baseball history, the Texas A&M Aggies pulled off a miracle comeback for the ages. Trailing by five runs entering the bottom of the ninth inning, the Aggies did the unthinkable—not once, but twice. With the bases loaded twice in the same inning, they launched not one but two grand slams to erase the deficit and then walk it off in front of a stunned and electrified home crowd, completing a dramatic sweep of their conference rival.

The final score didn’t just reflect a win; it reflected resilience, grit, belief, and pure baseball magic. A game that seemed all but over turned into a defining moment for the 2025 Aggies and an instant classic in college baseball lore.

The Setup: A Seemingly Hopeless Deficit

The Aggies came into the ninth inning facing a daunting 9–4 deficit. Fans were already making their way toward the exits. The opposing team, confident in their lead, began resting some of their key pitchers. After all, they had kept the Aggie offense mostly in check through the first eight innings and looked poised to salvage at least one game in the three-game series.

Texas A&M, however, had other ideas. Head coach Jim Schlossnagle, known for his calm demeanor and unwavering belief in his players, kept rallying his dugout: “One at-bat at a time. We’re not done yet.”

The Spark That Lit the Fire

The bottom of the ninth began innocently enough—a leadoff single, followed by a walk, then another single. Suddenly, the Aggies had the bases loaded with no outs. The crowd, which had thinned slightly, began surging back to life, sensing that something special might be brewing.

Up stepped junior slugger Trey Montgomery, who had already homered earlier in the series. On a 2-1 pitch, Montgomery turned on a hanging slider and crushed it over the left-field wall. Grand slam.

The stadium exploded. Just like that, the score was 9–8, and the Aggies were within one.

Still, they needed more.

A Rollercoaster of Emotions

The rally continued with a line-drive double, a walk, and a perfectly executed bunt single to load the bases again. The momentum had fully swung. Every pitch brought fans to their feet, with chants of “Let’s go Aggies!” echoing throughout Blue Bell Park.

Next to the plate came Eli Turner, a senior who had battled injuries and adversity throughout his career. Known more for his defense than his power, Turner stepped in with the game on the line. After fouling off a couple of pitches and working the count full, he got a fastball middle-in and didn’t miss.

Crack.

The ball soared high into the College Station sky and landed in the right-field bullpen.

Grand slam. Again.

Game over. Aggies win 12–9.

Bedlam in College Station

The dugout emptied. Players stormed home plate to mob Turner, whose second career home run couldn’t have come at a more epic time. Fans screamed, cried, laughed—many in disbelief at what they had just witnessed. The stadium PA blasted “Saw ‘Em Off” while the scoreboard flashed WALK-OFF GRAND SLAM across the screen.

It wasn’t just a win. It was a moment. A defining flash of brilliance and belief that would become part of Aggie legend.

For the first time in school history, Texas A&M had hit two grand slams in a single inning, and they had done it in the bottom of the ninth to win a game.

Postgame Reactions: Shock and Awe

Head coach Schlossnagle was still catching his breath in the postgame interview.

“I’ve been around baseball a long time,” he said, shaking his head with a grin. “But I’ve never seen anything like that. Never. That’s the kind of moment these guys will remember the rest of their lives.”

Trey Montgomery, who hit the first grand slam, said:

“I was just trying to keep the rally going. Once I hit it, I thought, ‘Okay, let’s go.’ But Eli—man, what a moment.”

Eli Turner, usually a quiet and humble team player, was hoisted on teammates’ shoulders during the on-field celebration. When asked what went through his mind as the ball left his bat, he said:

“I honestly didn’t think it was gone at first. I was just hoping it’d get over the outfielder’s head. Then I saw it clear the fence… I blacked out after that.”

Historical Context: Rarity of the Moment

To understand how rare this moment was, consider the stats:

• In MLB history, two grand slams in a single inning by one team have only happened once (by the Baltimore Orioles in 1986).
• In NCAA Division I baseball, multiple grand slams in a single inning are almost unheard of—especially in the ninth inning.
• A walk-off grand slam is rare on its own.
• A comeback from 5+ runs down in the 9th with two grand slams? That might be unprecedented.

This wasn’t just a wild finish—it was a once-in-a-generation baseball miracle.

The Turning Point in the Season?

Every great team has a moment that solidifies their identity. For the Aggies, this might be it. With conference play heating up and postseason aspirations in full view, this comeback may serve as the emotional and motivational anchor that propels them toward a College World Series berth.

Team chemistry was already strong, but now, the belief in each other—the belief that no game is ever out of reach—has crystallized.

Assistant coach Nolan Cain said after the game:

“We tell our guys to keep fighting no matter what. Tonight, they lived that message. This team’s got heart.”

The Fans: Witnesses to History

For those in attendance, it was a night they’ll never forget. Social media lit up with videos from every angle—one fan even caught the second grand slam on live stream, and the video instantly went viral.

Aggie alumni, former players, and college baseball analysts from across the country chimed in to express disbelief and admiration.

“This is what makes college baseball so beautiful,” one ESPN analyst tweeted. “Pure heart, no script, just magic.”

Looking Ahead

With momentum on their side and a new chapter written into the program’s history books, the Aggies are riding high. The coaching staff will no doubt emphasize staying grounded, reminding the players that one game doesn’t define a season. But emotionally, this is the kind of win that bonds a team forever.

There will be tough games ahead. Challenges, injuries, setbacks. But now, they know: down five in the ninth, backs against the wall—it’s never over.

Because they’ve done it.

Final Thoughts: A Night for the Ages

Baseball is often described as a game of failure, of inches, of waiting. But every now and then, it delivers the kind of moment that reminds us why we watch, why we cheer, and why we believe.

For the 2025 Texas A&M Aggies, April 15th will forever be remembered as the night they hit two grand slams in one inning to walk it off and sweep their rivals.

In a sport that cherishes tradition and records, this moment etched itself into Aggie baseball history—and maybe even college baseball folklore.

What’s next for the Aggies? Time will tell. But after a night like that, one thing is clear:
