<\/p>\n ARLINGTON, Texas\u00a0\u2013 UT Arlington completed a weekend sweep of Villanova with a 2\u20131 win on Sunday at Clay Gould Ballpark, riding a career outing from right-hander Ty Zahradnik<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Mavericks scratched across single runs in the second and fifth, taking a 1\u20130 lead on an RBI double from Austin Phillips<\/a> in the second before Preston Knott<\/a> scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the fifth. Villanova’s lone run came in the fourth on an unearned tally after a throwing error and passed ball, but UTA’s staff allowed just two hits on the afternoon and stranded the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position in the ninth.\u200b<\/p>\n Zahradnik turned in a\u00a0career\u00a0performance, earning his first win of the season by working 8.1 innings and allowing just one unearned run on two hits with a career-high eight strikeouts and only two walks. Hayes Melville<\/a> came on with the tying and go-ahead runs aboard in the ninth and recorded the final two outs to lock down his second save and the 2\u20131 victory.\u200b
