COLLEGE STATION, Texas – UTA's demanding non-conference schedule continued on the road Tuesday at No. 6 Texas A&M, with the Aggies pulling away late to beat the Mavs 10-5.

The loss snapped a nine-game UTA (28-14) winning streak. It also snapped a two-game non-conference game winning streak.

Anthony Dominguez drove in three runs to lead the way for the Mavs. Phillip Childs went 2-for-4 with a pair of runs in the loss.

Phillip Childs and Aaron Funk opened the third inning by getting on base. A Boone Montgomery sacrifice bunt moved both runners over. Finally, Zac Cook hit a sac fly to right field to bring Childs home.

The Aggies (30-12-1) tied it up with a solo home run in the bottom of the third.

The Mavs got two quick outs in the bottom of the fourth, but the next two batters got on base. That set up Ty Coleman to hit a three-run homer that gave Texas A&M a 4-1 lead.

The Aggies added another run in the bottom of the fifth, but Drew Gooch, who came on in relief to start the inning, limited the damage. He got out of a bases-loaded jam after the run was scored when he forced a double play to end the inning.

The Mavs began closing the gap in the top of the seventh inning. After Dylan Paul drew a walk to start the inning, doubled down the left field line to put Paul in scoring position. Montgomery drew another walk to load the bases for Anthony Dominguez. Two runs came around to score on Dominguez's single, which cut the deficit to a pair of runs.

UTA threatened again in the eighth, but couldn't bring Josh Minjarez home from second. That would prove problematic for the Mavs, as the Aggies scored five runs in the bottom of the frame to put the game out of reach. The dagger came on a Braden Shewmake three-run homer that made it 10-3.

UTA scored a couple of runs in the ninth to make the final margin five runs.

The Mavs will start a three-game Sun Belt series at Appalachian State at 5 p.m. Friday.
