Texas State closes out Chanticleers, picks up series win

All the momentum Texas State had built up through a 7-4 series-opening win over Coastal Carolina on Friday was lost over the course of Saturday’s game inside Bobcat Ballpark.

The hosts struggled to figure out redshirt senior left-handed pitcher Reid VanScoter, who kept them shut out across the first eight innings of the game. The Chanticleers put up seven runs across the same span of time.

VanScoter finally came out of the game with two outs in the top of the eighth. The maroon and gold took advantage of the change, putting up a five-spot in the bottom of the ninth, but ran out of time to complete the rally, falling 7-5.
