Texas A&M entered the tournament with the second-best odds, +600, to win the national championship, trailing only the Tennessee Volunteers. The program has never won a national title.
The Aggies have been elite on both sides of the ball throughout the season. They finished the regular season ranked fourth in the nation. They were ranked 53rd in batting average, tied for 26th in hits, fourth in home runs, 11th in runs, fifth in ERA, fourth in strikeouts to walks and fourth in WHIP.
Texas A&M will host the Oregon Ducks in a best-of-three series in the NCAA super regionals.
