The Victoria Generals (30-18) ended the regular season on a strong note with a 7-3 road win against the San Antonio River Monsters (24-18) Sunday to earn a series split.
After three scoreless innings to start the game, Victoria second baseman and cleanup hitter Griffin Lyczkowski led off the top of the fourth with a solo home run to left field. It was his first homer of the season and it gave the Generals a 1-0 lead. Victoria added a pair of unearned runs in the frame to extend to a 3-0 advantage.
Victoria continued to pad its lead in the fifth as third baseman Beck Zimmerman hit a two-run single to center field with two outs. San Antonio scored its first run of the ballgame in the home half of the fifth to cut into Victoria’s lead at 5-1.
With two outs in the sixth, Lyczkowski struck again with a two-run homer to left field. He ended the game 3-for-4 with three RBIs and three runs scored. San Antonio responded with a run in each of the seventh and eighth innings, but could get no closer down the stretch as Victoria closed out the game with a win.
The Victoria offense produced nine hits and was aided by five San Antonio errors. Generals reliever Enrique Meza earned the win. He gave up one hit and no runs in a one-inning appearance. Starter Kamar Dove suffered the loss for the River Monsters. The hurler went 4.2 innings and allowed four earned runs on four hits.
The Generals now turn their attention to the postseason. They will play the Brazos Valley Bombers in a best-of-three series starting on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Brazos Valley. Game 2 of the series will be played Wednesday evening at Riverside Stadium at 7:05. If necessary, Game 3 will be Thursday night at Riverside Stadium at 7:05.
