Horns crush Aggies in opening round of college baseball playoffs

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Round one of the 2014 NCAA Baseball Tournament began today, and it began with a couple of old rivals playing in front of a sold out crowd at Reckling Park.

The Texas A&M Aggies faced off against the Texas Longhorns, but the game was more like battling practice for those wearing burnt orange.

The Longhorns built a big lead early on and easily won the game 8 to 1.

The Horns now play winner of George Mason and Rice Saturday at 7:00pm. The Aggies will play the loser at 3:00pm.
