No. 1 seed Texas State recovered from a slow start at the plate Friday night to defeat No. 10 seed Louisiana-Monroe, 8-2, and advance to the Sun Belt tournament semifinals.
“We've been in these games all year long,” head coach Steven Trout said. “I would love to get up early and stay ahead, but that's just not the way we like to do things, I guess.”
The Bobcats never had more than one runner get on base through the first five innings of the night. Senior shortstop Dalton Shuffield swung for two base hits during the stretch, but the team hit into double plays each time afterward. ULM sophomore first baseman Michelle Artzberger swung for a two-RBI homer in the top of the second to give the Warhawks a 2-0 lead.
