Collins Leads 13-Hit Rice Attack
The outing was the second and final of two exhibitions the Owls played during the program's Fall training program under new head coach Matt Bragga. The event was scheduled to go 12 innings to maximize game-like conditions for as many players as possible in the off-season. The Blue & Gray twice rallied to tie the score after A&M had leads of 4-0 and 6-4. The contest was tied 6-6 after 11.0 complete innings.
Seven different Owls combined for 13 hits, including Collins who went 4-for-6 with a double and run scored. Junior Braden Comeaux was 3-for-5 with a run and a heads-up steal of second base when the Aggies did not have their guard up.
A total of ten different Rice pitchers saw action on the night and no hurler (for either team) went more than 2.0 innings. Junior right-hander Addison Moss started for the Owls for the second time in as many weeks. He fired a pair of scoreless innings and struck out one. The Aggies scored their nine runs in three of the night's 12 frames.
