Star right fielder Braden Montgomery injured his lower right leg when he was thrown out at home in the bottom of the first.
COLLEGE STATION — Braden Montgomery helped guide Texas A&M to the edge of the College World Series . The Aggies now will try and push through to Omaha , Neb. , without their star right fielder. A&M, the No. 3 overall seed of the NCAA Tournament, defeated Oregon 10-6 on Saturday in Game 1 of a best-of-three super regional at Blue Bell Park , and the Aggies did so over the final eight innings minus Montgomery.
The right-hander Cortez, who routinely throws 100 mph, allowed zero runs and two hits over 5⅔ innings. Evan Aschenbeck closed out the contest with no runs or hits allowed over 1⅔ innings. Prager, who had won eight of his nine decisions entering Saturday’s game, allowed six runs on seven hits in a rare subpar performance for the Aggies’ ace. Cortez’s exceptional outing helped Schlossnagle save most of his bullpen for Sunday’s Game 2 or perhaps a deciding third game Monday.
