Texas State Baseball claimed a share of its second-ever Sun Belt championship over the weekend, sweeping Louisiana in the team’s final home series of the season.
“When you set your goals up, one of the first ones is winning a conference championship,” head coach Steven Trout said. “And so you know, we’re one win away to make that happen outright. And then to go along with it, we’ll have other goals that we’ll get to accomplish. And so this team’s put ourselves in a great position for the postseason. But we’re not done yet, we’ve got a lot to play for and a lot left to go.”
The Bobcats deemed Saturday’s game their Senior Day, honoring nine players before the contest: designated hitter Wesley Faison, second baseman Cameron Gibbons, right-handed pitcher Matthew Nicholas, outfielder Isaiah Ortega-Jones, shortstopDalton Shuffield, closer Tristan Stivors, RHP Trevis Sundgren, third baseman Justin Thompson and outfielder John Wuthrich. Many of the upperclassmen stepped up during the game to help the maroon and gold pull off a back-and-forth 6-4 victory.
