Baseball at UTRGV

Important series for the Cards to at least take two of three. Sam Houston is in second place in the Southwest Division one loss behind Lamar and playing SFA currently in last place. ACU is tied with Sam Houston and faces Tarleton. A sweep would be great. Game one kicks off at 7 PM according to the Lamar web site.

After two innings score still 0-0.

Cards get a run in the top of the fifth to take a 1-0 lead. As a side note SFA deafeats Sam 2-1.

Cards get another run in the top of the sixth. Bottom of the sixth and Douthit leaves the game with one out and the bases loaded. Cole comes into pitch. Cole's first pitch is a wild pitch to score one run and move the other two runners up. The UTRGV batter then flies out to left field but deep enough to score the tying run. Cole gets the third out but the game is tied going into the seventh. Edited March 26, 2022 by geezer

Lamar gets two runs in the top of the seventh to regain the lead, but are unable to get any more runs leaving the bases loaded. Score Lamar 4 - UTRGV 2.

Another side note, Tarleton defeated ACU 9-7 to put Tarleton, ACU and Sam all at 4-3 in conference play after tonight's games. Edited March 26, 2022 by geezer

It would probably make a bigger difference between the power conferences and the smaller ones, but I wish baseball had a few more scholarships to go around.
