COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The first game between the Davidson Wildcats and Texas A&M Aggies had fans on the edge of their seats for 15 innings in College Station, Texas, but the Aggies managed to pull off a 7-6 win.
The teams battled for more than five hours.
But the Wildcats still have a chance to head to Omaha, Nebraska. The team that wins the three-games series earns a trip for the 2017 College World Series.

To put Davidson's success story into perspective, the Wildcats had never won so much as a regular season championship in the school's 115 years until this season, when they captured the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament. The Wildcats kept that momentum going by defeating in-state power North Carolina this past weekend to earn a trip to the NCAA super regionals.
Game 2 is at 6 p.m. on Saturday.
