The Texas A&M Aggies (37-19) and Florida Gators (33-24) battled in a 10-inning showdown that ended when Aggies OF/1B Jonathan Ducoff hit an RBI single to centerfield in the bottom of the tenth. We take a look at some of the images from Tuesday’s contest:

Florida's Tommy Mace, pictured, was drafted in the 12th round by the Cincinnati Reds in the 2017 MLB Draft. The 6-foot-6 right-hander settled down after a strong freshman campaign, but he remains a viable prospect for the 2020 MLB Draft.
35 Lacy arm goes back behind his shoulder to throw the ball
Entering the 2019 SEC Tournament, Texas A&M's LHP Asa Lacy (6'4, 215) ranked third in the SEC in strikeouts in 2019 during regular season play (115).

Texas A&M 3B Ty Coleman's versatility in the field was on display with this off-balance throw. The player that Coleman is throwing to at first base is his brother, Hunter (No. 10 pictured).

Florida's Jacob Young (No. 1 pictured) proved that the Aggies' Coleman wasn't the only player capable of throwing off-balance with this effort off of his back foot early in the contest. Young had a hand in 14 double plays this past season.
6 Calilao stands on first base as
