SFA:2 (5-25; 2-11)
ACU:1 (17-13; 8-5)
Final

Pitchers due in this one with the ACU pitching staff getting 12 K's and 2 walks, as ACU took the 1-0 lead in the top of the 3rd, and that was it, one hit and one run for the Wildcats that held the lead going into the top of the 9th.

Parker Peyton continues to be the man with 3 hits and 1 run.

SFA pitching went by committee (7 pitchers saw action) and it was their best game of the season with 7 K's and 8 walks giving up just 1 hit and 1 ER.

Game 2 tomorrow at 2:00 P.M. as SFA goes for a series win.

Is it random that I got a piece of mail addressed to Cardenas at my house today and now they have a winning streak?

Lamar had a 13-game win streak going that Houston ended in late March, but Lamar started another one that began with a 3-game sweep of #25 Oklahoma in Norman (12-10; 13-8; 6-3) and a 11-3 victory over Sam Houston.

Unfortunate for CBU as 1st place GCU and 2nd place ACU keep winning, so no ground gained for the Lancers.

Game 3 today at 1:00 P.M. ESPN+

At this point I would be happy with at least 1 run in this series.

Shut out twice. A season to forget.

Better command on the mound for the Jacks as the pitching staff K's 10, walks 5, with 7 ER's.

SFA:2 (6-34; 2-19)

Final

What a game for the Jacks!

31 total hits in this slug fest with 21 runs scored in a 10 inning thriller.

The Vaqueros took a commanding 6-1 lead into the top of the 5th and it was looking like same old same old when the Jacks came storming back with 7 runs between the 5th and 7th innings highlighted by freshman Colton Griffin's 3 run homer (5th of the season) in the top of the 7th as the Jacks took the lead 8-6

UTRGV answered quickly in the bottom of the 7th with a homer of their own scoring two more runs to tie it up at 8 a piece to send the game into extra innings.

Final

The Vaqueros take game 2 scoring 11 runs off of 11 hits while the Jacks get 3 runs off of 9 hits.

UTRGV baseball really has a big following, as they average about 4K in attendance and what a show they got tonight as the Vaquero offense homered 5 times in this one as the SFA pitching gave up 11 ERs, walked 6 and only struck out 3.

UTRGV pitching was spot on with 10 K's and only 1 walk, giving up 3 ER's
