UTRGV baseball’s streak of conference series wins snapped this weekend against New Mexico State.
The Vaqueros dropped the first game of the series in a disappointing 17-8 loss but came back in game two and exploded for 21 runs in a massive win. UTRGV scored nine unanswered runs in the first two innings. It’s tough to single out the important ones so here’s the name of every player who RBI’d: Sepulveda, Galvan, Hirsh, Grubbs, Torres, Galvan, Gomez, Diaz, Gomez, Torres, Torres, Grubbs, Galvan.
It’s the most runs UTRGV has scored in a conference game since 1997.
The game was cut short in the 8th inning because of the team’s insurmountable lead.
Now, the third game didn’t go the way we planned it and the Vaqueros fell 10-0. UTRGV still sits in a first place tie in the WAC standings.
Another week means another WAC championship and this week we have the Men’s Golf Championship where UTRGV finished fourth place. Senior Alvarado Hernandez wound up 5th place among all competitors, wrapping up a spectacular collegiate career.
