Generals offense comes alive in 13-7 win in San Antonio<\/p>\n

Published 2:10 pm Friday, July 10, 2026<\/p>\n

The Victoria Generals (22-11) put an end to their two-game slide against the San Antonio River Monsters (15-14) Thursday night with a 13-7 road triumph at UIW Baseball Field.<\/p>\n

It was a see-saw affair early as San Antonio posted three runs in the home half of the first inning to take the initial lead. Victoria responded with three runs in the top of the second.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Right fielder Isaac Yruretogoyena drove in two runs with a single that drove in Asa Sampson and Jeter Battles. Three batters later and with two outs, Yruretogoyena scored from second on a single by third baseman Lucas Wilson to tie the game at 3-3. An unearned run in the third gave Victoria a momentary lead at 4-3.<\/p>\n

San Antonio regained momentum with three runs in the fourth and another in the fifth to pull ahead at 7-4. A seven-run rally by Victoria in the sixth turned the tide in favor of the Generals and ultimately decided the contest.<\/p>\n

Three of Victoria\u2019s first four batters reached base safely to start the rally. Wilson was walked with the bases loaded to drive in the first run of the frame. In the next at-bat, catcher Roman Cariaga cleared the bases with a three-run triple to center field. He scored after an RBI single by left fielder and cleanup hitter Josh Arquette in the very next at-bat.<\/p>\n

Later in the frame, Sampson hit a two-run single to account for Victoria\u2019s final runs of the big rally. Victoria added a run in the eighth and ninth innings and held San Antonio scoreless through the final four innings to secure the win.<\/p>\n

The Generals offense produced 16 hits compared to seven for the River Monsters. Sampson went 4-for-5 with three runs batted in, a run scored, and two stolen bases. Arquette and shortstop Brock De Young collected three hits apiece for Victoria.<\/p>\n

Reliever Nate Bergeron picked up the win for the Generals. He pitched two innings and allowed one earned run on one hit to go along with three strikeouts. Victoria starter Xavier Woods lasted four innings, allowed six earned runs on six hits, and did not factor into the decision. Reliever Joaquin Renteria pitched 1.1 innings, allowed six earned runs on two hits and suffered the loss for San Antonio.<\/p>\n

Heading into Friday\u2019s series finale in San Antonio, the first-place Generals maintained a four-game lead over second-place Lake Charles and a five-game edge over the third-place River Monsters in the Texas Collegiate League standings.<\/p>\n
