OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Texas A&M baseball team knew it couldn't leave town with the Big 12 tournament championship trophy, but the Aggies made sure they did leave as winners with an 11-4 victory over the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Saturday night at AT&T Bricktown Ballpark.

A&M (36-22) knew it couldn't play Texas at 1 p.m. Sunday for the tournament title before taking the field against Tech. That's because Missouri's 5-4 victory over Oklahoma earlier in the day gave the Tigers the edge on the Aggies in case the two teams finished pool play tied at 2-1. Missouri owned the tiebreaker over A&M via its 5-2 victory in the tournament's first game.

Missouri fans cheered as A&M banged out 15 hits against Tech, which had won two of three from the Aggies in the regular season.

A&M, which finished sixth in the Big 12 regular-season standings, is expected to receive an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. The 64-team field will be announced at 11:30 a.m. Monday on ESPN.

Tech (25-32) had to beat the Aggies, then defeat league champ Texas to earn the league's automatic berth and extend its season. The Aggies ended that possibility by bolting to a 9-3 lead after three innings in a game that started 45 minutes late because of rain.

A&M, which had lost five of six Big 12 games to end the regular season, pounded out 34 hits in its last two games. A&M scored in the first four innings against Tech on the heels of scoring in seven of eight innings against Oklahoma on Friday night.

Freshman left-hander Ross Hales was the winning pitcher. He allowed four runs, three of them earned, in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out five and walked three. He was spelled by Kyle Thebeau, who retired 12 straight, striking out five.

Luke Anders hit a home run in the first inning to get A&M rolling. The senior first baseman was 3 for 5 with two RBIs. Second baseman Brodie Greene was 3 for 4 with three runs scored. Brooks Raley had a pair of hits and three RBIs as every A&M starter had a hit.

Texas A&M made only one error for the second straight game.
