Big Inning Pushes UT Tyler Past Baseball, 5-0

UT Tyler completes series sweep over ENMU.

TYLER, Texas – UT Tyler grabbed the series finale over Eastern New Mexico Baseball, 5-0, on Saturday afternoon at Irwin Field. The Greyhounds drop to 14-20, with a 12-20 conference standing. Meanwhile the Patriots improve to 22-14 overall, holding the same LSC record.

Following two scoreless innings, the Patriots jumped in front with four runs in the 3rd inning. Three straight singles loaded the bases for UTT, but the Greyhounds cut down a runner at home after a fielder's choice to keep the game scoreless. However, a two-out double cleared the bases to get UTT on top 3-0. The following batter singled to right field to plate the 4th run of the inning.
 
After a sacrifice fly in the 5th inning pushed the Patriots lead to 5-0, but Eastern had their best chance to score runs in the 6th frame. Eastern loaded the bases with two outs after Luciano Terilli and Willie Ponce reached on singles, and Demetrio Archuleta walked. ENMU left the runners stranded after a flyout to right field concluded the inning. The Patriots managed the contest for the remaining three innings, as UTT claimed a 5-0 victory.

NOTABLE STATS

  • The Patriots mustered eight hits, while ENMU supplied eight base knocks.
  • Six different Greyhounds recorded a base hit in the game, with Cooper Hamilton's double going for extra bases.
  • On the hill for Eastern, Josaiah Estrella started the game with five runs allowed (four earned) in four innings. Jadon Rendon (2.1 IP) and Zach Raichel combined for 4.0 scoreless innings for the Greyhounds.
  • Kolby Parker earned the win, throwing six scoreless frames with five hits allowed and three strikeouts. Logan Henderson tossed a three inning save, giving up one hit with a pair of strikeouts.

FROM THE SOURCE

"Same story today in game four," said Head ENMU Baseball Coach Riley Price. "I thought we pitched it ok, but could not get the big hit with runners on, and walks combined with errors didn't help. I got to tip my cap to UT Tyler as they played clean baseball all weekend, but we are much better than we played and need to get our mojo back quickly," said Price. "We need to get the monkey off our back and refocus as we head into our next home series,".

BEYOND THE BOX SCORE

  • The Greyhounds return home on Friday, April 5th, as UAFS comes to Portales for a four-game series.
