Texas State head coach Ty Harrington worried about his team overswinging the bat.
The symptoms first arose during the Bobcats’ 8-5 loss at UTSA on Tuesday, as they struck out 11 times. The issue continued to cause trouble for the team at the plate Saturday, which split a doubleheader with Georgia State (14-34, 5-19 Sun Belt) inside Bobcat Ballpark. But Texas State (33-15, 17-7) healed itself in Sunday’s finale to take the series over the Panthers, 2-1.
“We just kind of realized that we can’t do that,” sophomore right fielder John Wuthrich said. “To win, we’re going to have to buy into our approach that our coaches have set out for us because we’ve seen that whenever we buy into that, we’re really good. And when we don’t we can lose to anybody. I guess that was big for us, was just buying back in.”
