Trinity Cannon
Evan Pilat | Texas A&M Athletics

In a tie game in the eighth inning, Trinity Cannon was looking at a full count with the bases loaded. That didn’t phase her, though, as she unloaded a winning swing for No. 17 Texas A&M this afternoon.

Cannon, a senior infielder for the Aggies, swung true in extra innings versus UTSA in the Texas A&M Invitational this afternoon. In her only at-bat of the day as a pinch hitter, she drove in four runs with a grand slam that gave her team a walk-off, 5-1 win over the Roadrunners.

Cannon hit the ball out of the park at 265 feet from Davis Diamond. It left the stadium at a rate at 77.8 miles per hour. That was enough to bring in Scout Lovell, Jazmine Hill, and Koko Wooley along with herself to move her team to 14-1 on the year so far.

Texas A&M and UTSA had played seven scoreless innings to start to send it to that eighth. Both teams saved all their scoring until then with the Roadrunners striking first on a single that scored one run. However, that wasn’t enough as Amari Harper tied it on a throwing error. Cannon then sealed the deal with the cannon of her own to win it for the Aggies by four.

Over six games in the invitational, Texas A&M went 5-1 as they outscored their opponents by a margin of 39-4 over the five victories. They will now prepare to play a game with Sam Houston State on Tuesday before playing in another event, the Judi Garman Classic, next weekend.

Johnny Manziel hopes to be cast in Blue Mountain State sequel

There is a sequel series to Blue Mountain State in development. If the producers want to go for a realistic choice in casting for the series by bringing in actual football players, Johnny Manziel has already volunteered himself.

Manziel, a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback whose NFL career didn’t quite pan out, became known for how much he partied. That came shortly after the show initially aired. When combined, it almost felt like Manziel and the show went hand in hand.

“I wanna be in this in the worst way. Blue Mountain State 4eva,” Manziel posted.

With that, adding him to the cast of a future Blue Mountain State production seems like it makes a decent bit of sense.

All that’s truly known right now is that there’s an upcoming sequel and that Johnny Manziel would love to be a part of it, which makes sense to just about everyone who knows him and the show.
