Cole Coffey’s last hit of the season inside Bobcat Ballpark landed in the same place as his first of the year — over the left field fence.
The fifth-year senior first baseman has been collecting hits for Texas State since he was a freshman in 2017. He saved some of his biggest for his last season with the maroon and gold, though. Coffey had two home runs combined over the first four years of his career. This year he’s totaled a career-high nine, including three in a 15-9 win over Houston on March 13.
His latest came on Sunday against Georgia State. The Bobcats, trailing 6-0 in the bottom of the fourth inning, got two runners in scoring position after a sacrifice bunt from senior centerfielder Chase Evans. Coffey stepped up to the plate for the second time of the day and went yard on the fourth pitch he saw, clearing the bases and cutting the Panthers’ lead in half.
