UIW Falls to Houston Baptist in 13 innings

HOUSTON -- The University of the Incarnate Word baseball team battled for 13 innings, but ultimately the Cardinals fell, 7-6, to Houston Baptist on Saturday in the series finale at Husky Field.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Huskies took an early advantage, scoring four runs in the first three innings, but UIW started their comeback in the sixth frame. David Anaya's sacrifice fly drove in Ridge Rogers before Lee Thomas used a two-RBI single to plate Ryan Flores and Eddy Gonzalez, leaving HBU with a 4-3 advantage.
 
The Cardinals continued their rally in the seventh inning when Ryan Gonzalez blasted a three-RBI double to right center, scoring Flores, Anaya and Kyle Bergeron for the 6-4 lead.
 
Houston Baptist used an RBI double in the eighth inning and took advantage of a wild pitch in the ninth frame to knot the game at 6-6, forcing extra innings.
 
After three and a half more scoreless innings, Houston Baptist secured a 7-6 win with an RBI single in the bottom of the 13th frame.
