Must See
It's Aggie Nation's last chance to see the A&T baseball team play at home this season, as they host the Savannah State Tigers in a three-game series on Saturday and Sunday.  The Aggies will be looking to close out the season strong at home and to extend their win streak against the Tigers.  The Aggies swept the Tigers in a doubleheader in their last meeting on April 1.  If the Aggies can sweep this series, they will move ahead of the Tigers in the MEAC Southern Division.  The Aggies are currently in fourth place with a 7-11 record in conference play.  The Aggies need to play well against Savannah State and also fare well against Florida A&M the following weekend to secure a berth in the MEAC tournament.

Aggies versus Tigers
 The Aggies are 20-5 against Savannah State since 2004, and won 13 straight games from 2006-10.  The Aggies went 2-3 against SSU last season.  The Aggies are 2-1 against SSU this season.  The Aggies look to build upon their success in this series.

Hitting Streak
