History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n ALPINE, TEXAS \u2013 The UT Tyler baseball team secured its eighth consecutive series-opening victory in dominant fashion, rolling to a 19-1 win over Sul Ross State on ThursdayQ1. Game two of the series was suspended due to weather and will resume Friday.<\/p>\n The Patriots wasted no time setting the tone in game one. Connor Clark<\/a> opened the contest with a leadoff home run, giving UT Tyler an early 1-0 advantage.<\/p>\n UT Tyler broke the game open in the second inning following a clean frame on the mound from Julio Garcia<\/a>. A combination of hit-by-pitches, defensive miscues, and timely hitting helped the Patriots push across eight runs in the inning. Cole Ketzner<\/a> highlighted the rally with an RBI single, while Spencer Simpson<\/a> added to the lead with an RBI knock as UT Tyler extended its advantage to 9-0.<\/p>\n The momentum continued in the third inning as the Patriots erupted for nine more runs on five hits. Ketzner delivered again with an RBI double, while Travis Bragg<\/a> and Brock Bearden<\/a> each contributed RBI hits in the inning. Tanner Hornback<\/a> capped off the scoring with a two-run single, pushing the lead to 18-0.<\/p>\n Sul Ross State scored its lone run in the sixth inning, capitalizing on a double, a groundout, and a wild pitch. UT Tyler quickly answered in the bottom half as Ryan Walker<\/a> launched a solo home run to finalize the 19-1 scoreline.<\/p>\n On the mound, Garcia set the tone with three strong innings, allowing just three hits while striking out four. Grady Baetz<\/a> and Ryan Lawton<\/a> combined to finish the game, surrendering only one run on one hit while striking out five.<\/p>\n Offensively, eight Patriots recorded hits, with multiple-hit performances from Hornback, Ketzner, and Simpson. Ketzner led the way with a perfect 3-for-3 outing, scoring twice and driving in two runs. Hornback went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBIs, while Simpson added two hits, two runs, and an RBI.<\/p>\n With the win, UT Tyler improves to 30-9 overall and remains atop the Lone Star Conference standings.<\/p>\n Game two of the series was halted due to weather with the Patriots leading 3-1 in the top of the fourth inning. Play will resume Saturday at noon with one out, two runners on base, and Hornback at the plate in a 2-0 count. UT Tyler is scheduled to complete the suspended game along with the remaining games of the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
