Baseball's 9th-inning rally falls short against Texas State

SAN MARCOS, Texas -- The University of the Incarnate Word baseball team fell, 7-4, to Texas State on Wednesday night at Bobcat Ballpark.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Bobcats opened the scoring first, plating two runs in the third frame to take a 2-0 lead, but the Cardinals quickly responded in the top of the fourth. UIW scored three runs on four hits -- including an RBI single from Taylor Smith and a two-RBI single from Lee Thomas -- to take a 3-2 lead over Texas State.
 
The Bobcats regained the lead in the bottom of the fifth, driving in four runs to push their lead to 6-3. Texas State added another run in the bottom of the eighth, extending its advantage to 7-3. 
 
The Cardinals mounted a rally in the ninth inning. With Sean Arnold in scoring position and two outs on the scoreboard, Ryan Flores smacked an RBI double down the left field line, adding a run to make the score 7-4. The rally fell short, however, as a groundout ended the inning and the Bobcats secured the win.
 
NOTABLES
  • Ryan Flores was 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, and a run. Flores has five multi-hit games this season.
  • Lee Thomas also went 2-for-4; he chipped in two RBI, marking his second multi-RBI outing of the season.
  • Arnold, Jordan Thompson, Taylor Smith, Shea Gutierrez, and Chance Medina each chipped in hits as well, giving the Cardinals nine on the night.
  • Arnold leads the team with an eight game hitting streak.
  • Johnny Foral suffered the loss, allowing two runs and a hit with one strikeout.
