No. 17 Texas State almost got too comfortable on Tuesday.
The maroon and gold nearly run-ruled UTSA in the teams’ midweek matchup inside Bobcat Ballpark, but a late spark by the Roadrunners had the hosts unraveling. The team held off the rally attempt despite a seven-spot in the ninth inning by its I-35 rival, avoiding catastrophe and claiming the 14-12 victory.
“I gotta catch my breath a little bit because I went from being very comfortable to very nervous there the ninth. But a win's a win, right?” head coach Steven Trout said. “We found a way to win. I thought our offense was really good tonight, took advantage of some free 90s they gave us and then barrelled up a lot of baseballs. And so, those are really good arms over there, they've got some guys with some power stuff and you gotta be patient with them. And then when you get them, get them. And so I thought it was a pretty good night.”
