Texas A&M baseball took down a familiar foe in its College World Series lid-lifter, and the No. 3 national seed Aggies will look to replicate that again on Monday.

With a win already on its resume at the CWS — thanks in part to Jace LaViolette robbing a potential game-tying home run from Florida’s Cade Kurland — Jim Schlossnagle’s squad will take on No. 2 Kentucky at 6 p.m. CT Monday at Charles Schwab Field Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska. On the line: a trip to the CWS semifinals.

Like the Aggies, the Wildcats enter Monday’s CWS “winner’s bracket” game undefeated in the postseason. Former Texas infielder Mitchell Daly walked it off Saturday for Kentucky over No. 10 NC State with a lead-off solo home run to left field in extra-innings.

Texas A&M looks to move to 2-0 in the College World Series for the first time in program history with a win vs. Kentucky. If the Aggies fall to Kentucky, they will drop to the “loser’s bracket” and play in an elimination game Tuesday vs. Florida.

With that, follow for live scores, updates and highlights from the Aggies’ College World Series game vs. Kentucky:
