No. 17 Texas State won its series against South Alabama but suffered its first run-rule loss of the season over the weekend inside Bobcat Ballpark.
After a 10-2 win on Friday, the Bobcats clinched the series on Saturday on a walk-off RBI single from freshman first baseman Daylan Pena for an 11-10 victory. The maroon and gold began the game opening up a 10-2 lead through the first five innings, but were held scoreless through the next three as the Jaguars began to chip away.
The visitors scored four in the top of the ninth to tie the game up at 10-10, leading up to the game-deciding bottom frame. Senior outfielder Ben McClain swung for a base hit, senior third baseman Justin Thompson was intentionally walked and senior outfielder John Wuthrich earned a walk on a 4-1 count to load the bases with two outs, bringing up Pena.
