AUSTIN — When Texas State head coach Ty Harrington sent junior Donnie Hart and sophomore Austen Williams to the mound March 26 against Texas, their jobs were simple. Hart and Williams had to stop the bleeding and provide a bridge to junior closer Hunter Lemke, while the offense mounted a rally.

Exactly 14 days later, Hart and Williams didn’t have enough gauze to save the Bobcats. By the time Hart and Williams pitched, the Longhorns already turned Texas State into a mangled mess.

Smithson Valley held a 2-1 lead after the second inning, as both teams came through with several standout defensive plays that kept the score low.
But that all changed in the top of the fifth, as two SMHS errors and three walks helped Smithson Valley post four runs in the inning on its way to a 7-1 win at Rattler Field.

It was the game that just didn’t want to end. It took a pair of two-run home runs in extra innings for the No. 16 Baylor Bears to finally put away the Texas State Bobcats 7-3 after 10 innings Tuesday night at Bobcat Field.

A two-out RBI by Bobcat junior Coralee Ramirez tied the game up at 1-all in the bottom of the sixth inning, but things didn’t slow down from there. It was still tied in the top of the ninth when Baylor junior Holly Holl swatted a two-run home run over the left centerfield fence.
