Unranked Ags take series from No. 6 LSU at Alex Box Stadium over weekend

um. Fortunately, A&M did just that, finding key performances from guys who had been dealing with recent struggles.

By Alex Miller @AlexMill20

Masterful outing from Brigham Hill in game one In his previous three starts, Brigham Hill had hit bumps in the road. Searching for answers and trying to get back to early season form, the junior right-hander was now handed the tall order of facing a stout LSU lineup. Hill dominated his game one appearance, tossing eight scoreless innings, striking out seven batters with just two walks and did not allow a single LSU hitter to advance into scor-

exas A&M baseball had its back against the wall as the Aggies headed to Baton Rouge this past weekend to face No.6 LSU following a tough start to conference play. The maroon and white were riding on a short two-game winning streak and needed to use their momentum to take a series over the Tigers at the hostile Alex Box Stadi-

ing position in a 4-0 win over the Tigers. The A&M hitters backed Hill’s dominant outing as Nick Choruby blasted a two-run homer in the fifth and Cole Bedford knocked a two-RBI single in the ninth, giving the Aggies insurance. LSU offense comes to life in game two While the Tiger offense was tamed in game one, but the LSU hitters caught fire in game two in a 7-4 win. The Tigers broke the game open in the third, getting four consecutive hits to take a 3-0 lead. Antoine Duplantis recorded an RBI single to left field and Kramer Robertson fol-

ENTERTAINMENT

lowed with a two-RBI double down the left field line. After plating another run in the fifth on Josh Smith’s single, Walker Pennington belted a two-run homer to left field in the top of the seventh, cutting LSU’s lead to 5-2. In the bottom half of the seventh, Robertson and Greg Deichmann responded with back-to-back homers to push the Tigers’ lead back to five. A&M tried to rally in the ninth, but its efforts were not enough. Cole Bedford hit a two-run homer with two outs however, Braden Shewmake grounded out to second on BASEBALL ON PG. 2

BYX hosts community concert to benefit The Bridge Ministries By Kassandra Reyes & Mariah Colón @kaspressobeans & @MaraiahColon18 Beta Upsilon Chi (BYX) hosted Island Party, a free community concert event, Friday to benefit The Bridge Ministries, a local Christian community service outreach organization. As students gathered at Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater Friday night, “John Marc Kohl,” “The Pass,” “The Wrecks” and “The Mowglis” set up the stage and prepared for an Aggie audience. Walker Sinclair, industrial distribution senior and co-executive director of Island Party, said the goals of the event were to improve from previous years and to bring diverse genres to College Station. “This year one of our main goals was to bring a genre of music to College Station that we don’t usually see in our community so we went with more Indie Pop bands and Indie Rock bands,” Sinclair said. “[We had] ‘The

Wrecks,’ ‘The Mowglis’ and ‘The Pass’ but also showcased our local band, ‘John Marc Music.’” Sinclair said while the event brought music to the community, Island Party also showcased a local ministry service called The Bridge Ministries. “All of the proceeds of the event go to The Bridge Ministries, which is a local ministry in Bryan, and that was really mainly the main goal of this event was to provide not only a spotlight for them to be recognized in the community, but also provide monetary funds for them and I think it went really well,” Sinclair said. By 8 p.m., more than 1,800 people had showed up to the event, and by the time the headliner, The Mowgli’s, came on, there were more than 2,000 people in attendance, Sinclair said. The Wrecks played before the Mowgli’s ISLAND PARTY ON PG. 2

A taste for literature Edible Books Festival contestants represent books with culinary dishes By Victoria Fluellen @tori_fluellen Oh Gelato, Gelato, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways … Vanilla, caramel, raspberry cheesecake. But soft! What Gelato through yonder box breaks? It is the literary food festival, and sweet indulgences is the taste. Literature. It’s the matter of taste. Literature became a tasty treat for contestants and judges Saturday at the Larry J Ringer Library, as Texas A&M hosted the fourth Edible Book Festival. The festival is an international event that allows communities to become creative by making culinary dishes that represent books. Texas A&M director, learning, and outreach librarian, Stephanie Graves noticed when she first came to College Station that Texas A&M did not have an edible book festival and other universities did. “Two of the librarians that are here at A&M had done it at our last university that we were at,” Graves said. “We said, ‘Oh they

don’t do edible book festival here, we should start one here.’” The competition places culinary creations into seven categories. The first is a children’s category, which includes kids up to fifth grade, and a teen category, which includes sixth graders and up. Additional categories include “grossest,” “punniest,” people’s choice, best in show and the Mrs. Congeniality category, which is based on creative structure. Winners of each category receive $25 Barnes and Nobles gift cards and T-shirts, and everyone who participated in the event received a trophy. Three judges look for creativity, skill and ingredients used in each category as they make their selection and then vote in each category besides people’s choice, in which the audience chooses the winner. Winner Joseph Fusselman, current student at College Station High School, received second place for best teen award with his creation of “Ketchup in the Rye.” Fusselman’s creation consisted of ketchup that was absorbed by a piece of rye bread. “I love puns, and I really wanted to do something punny,” Fusselman said. “I decided to do something classy, so I did Ketchup in the Rye.” EDIBLE BOOK ON PG. 3

the Island Party was the vibe of College Station and the hospitality they received. “Everyone has been really nice though like the whole time and it’s beautiful out there. There’s food trucks and it’s just so cool and we’re really glad we were invited to come play this year,” said Nick Anderson, the lead singer for The Wrecks. Anderson said most of his writing stems from challenges he faces in life. “When I go to write it’s because I’m dealing with something, I’m going through something, and that usually is the easiest way for me to write because it just feels like it’s coming from a good place, it’s coming from a vulnerable place. So that’s usually where I like to start lyrically and everything like that,” Anderson said. “Guitar-wise, it’s just Schmitz — he just does his thing and we go back and forth and write some cool riffs and yeah.” Grant Hruzek, computer science junior who attended Island Party said events like these are needed as outlets to allow the community to come together. “It brings the community together, it brings people closer, it inspires people,” Hruzek said.

The A&M pitching staff held LSU’s offense to 10 runs over the entire weekend series, one of the Tigers’ lowest scoring weekends.

Cassie Stricker — THE BATTALION

“Three Mentos in a Boat” won People’s Choice, with its play on the book “Three Men in a Boat.” THE DAILY REVEILLE

BASEBALL CONTINUED the next at-bat to end the game. A&M uses two-out rally in ninth to take rubber match With two outs in the top of the ninth A&M found itself down three runs and stared defeat square in the eye. Walker Pennington – who entered the game in the seventh – conjured a little magic, blasting a three-run homer over the left field stands to put the Aggies up 4-3 – a lead they would not relinquish. On the previous at-bat, Hunter Coleman

belted a grounder up the middle to score Joel Davis from second and keep the game alive for A&M. Mitchell Kilkenny closed the bottom of the ninth for A&M, sitting the Tigers down in order to pick up the save and gave the Aggies an impressive road series win over LSU. Corbin Martin threw a career-high eight innings, allowing three runs on just four hits and struck out five. A&M returns to action this Tuesday when it hosts Dallas Baptist in the first home game in two weeks. First pitch is set for 6:32 p.m. and will be broadcast on SEC Network Plus.

EDIBLE BOOK CONTINUED Jill Geary, library specialist at Texas A&M, won the people’s choice award for Three Mentos in a Boat, which spoofed the book “Three Men in a Boat.” “I looked for titles that can play into puns and saw ‘Three Men in a Boat,’ and immediately thought of Three Mentos in a Boat,” Geary said. While contestants prepare cakes to enter for awards before the event, attendees of the Edible Book Fest can also try their hand at cake creation. “I’ve been really thrilled with the partici-

pation. The build-your-own — when people come in and use our materials — has been very popular. We’ve had kids come in and make all sorts of really interesting things,” said librarian Jennifer Bayer. “We provided some extra candy, and pretzels, frosting, and we’ve been really amused and pleased by the entries they’ve come up with.” After four years of successful Edible Books Festivals, Bayer said the festival’s organizers expect it to continue to grow in popularity. “We guided it to be more of a community event, rather for just staff, faculty and students, so we did a lot of marketing and reached out to KBTX and the local media to get our words out there,” Bayer said.
