<\/p>\n TYLER, TEXAS \u2013 No. 3 UT Tyler men’s baseball secured its first series win of the season with an 18\u201312 victory over Lubbock Christian in a marathon contest that featured over four hours of action. The Patriots combined 15 hits with 11 free passes to fuel their 18-run performance.<\/p>\n UT Tyler struck first in the opening inning after Connor Clark<\/a> led off with a single, stole second, and scored on a Drew Schmidt<\/a> base hit. Schmidt later swiped second and came home on a Cole Ketzner<\/a> double to give the Patriots a 2\u20130 lead.<\/p>\n Lubbock Christian answered in the second with a leadoff home run and capitalized on an error, single, and sacrifice bunt to take a 3\u20132 advantage. The Patriots responded immediately as Brock Bearden<\/a> singled, stole second, and eventually scored following a pair of errors to tie the game at 3\u20133.<\/p>\n After both teams were held scoreless for an inning, UT Tyler regained the lead in the fourth when Bearden doubled, advanced to third on a flyout, and scored on another Clark single to make it 4\u20133.<\/p>\n The game exploded in the fifth and sixth innings during a stretch that saw 13 runs scored on just two hits over nearly an hour of play. Two walks and a hit by pitch loaded the bases for Tanner Hornback<\/a>, who delivered a two-run single. Additional runs came via a wild pitch, walk, hit by pitch, and a fielder’s choice as UT Tyler built a 10\u20133 lead. The Chaps responded with runs fueled by errors, wild pitches, and four consecutive walks, eventually knotting the game at 10\u201310.<\/p>\n The Patriots regained control in the sixth when Bearden crushed a three-run home run after a hit batter and a single. UT Tyler added another run in the seventh when Bryce Jewell<\/a> doubled home a runner to extend the lead to 14\u201310.<\/p>\n Lubbock Christian pushed across a run in the eighth, but the Patriots answered with a decisive four-run bottom half of the inning. A leadoff walk and single, an error, wild pitch, and RBI singles from Ketzner, Kaston Mason<\/a>, and Hornback stretched the lead to 18\u201311.<\/p>\n The Chaps added one final run in the ninth following a double and defensive miscues, but UT Tyler closed out the 18\u201312 victory.<\/p>\n Offensively, six Patriots scored multiple runs and five recorded multiple hits. Clark finished 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored, while Schmidt and Hornback each totaled three runs and three RBI. Bearden led the way, going 3-for-5, reaching base four times, scoring four runs, and driving in three, including his first home run of the season. On the mound, Noah Lindt<\/a> earned his first win of the year, tossing two innings in relief while allowing just one earned run and striking out two.<\/p>\n The Patriots return to action tomorrow at 1 p.m. as they look to complete the sweep over Lubbock Christian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
