UIW Defeats Texas Southern, Wins Series

SAN ANTONIO -- The University of the Incarnate Word baseball team topped Texas Southern, 7-4, in Sunday's series finale at Sullivan Field.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Texas Southern used an RBI double and took advantage of a Cardinal miscue to jump out to a 2-0 advantage in the top of the first inning, but UIW cut into the lead in the bottom of the second inning when Ryan Flores' RBI single drove in Eddy Gonzalez.
 
Flores recorded his second RBI of the game in the fourth frame, plating Lee Thomas with a single to right field. Mark Whitehead's sacrifice fly and Kyle Bergeron's RBI single through the left side then gave UIW a 4-2 advantage.
 
The Tigers drew even again in the fifth inning with a two-run homer over the right field wall, but UIW regained the lead in the bottom of the frame. David Anaya scored on a TSU error and Thomas used a sacrifice fly to plate E. Gonzalez as the Cardinals went up 6-4.
 
UIW extended its lead in the sixth inning. Tyler Pettit scored on a Ridge Rogers RBI single through the right side and the Cardinals went on to secure the 7-4 victory.
 
NOTABLES
  • Flores led the cardinals, going 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run, while E. Gonzalez was 2-for-4 with two runs. Ridge Rogers went 2-for-4 as well.
  • Bernie Martinez (5-2) earned the victory on the mound, throwing five strikeouts and allowing zero walks in 7.0 innings pitched.
  • The Cardinal pitching staff did not allow any walks in Sunday's series finale. This is the fifth time this season the pitching staff has not surrendered a walk.
