Baseball Stumbles In Laredo

LAREDO, Texas – The St. Mary's Baseball team played 11 innings on Sunday at Texas A&M International, concluding a game from the sixth inning, falling 11-6 before dropping the fourth and final game in the series 10-5.

St. Mary's (5-13, 3-13 Lone Star) scored its six runs on five hits with three walks, while the Dust Devils (10-12, 10-10 Lone Star) scored 11 runs on nine hits with nine walks and neither team committed an error.
 
In the second game, the Rattlers tallied five runs on six hits, walking twice, while TAMIU scored 10 runs on 12 hits with six walks. StMU had two errors, while TAMIU had one. All six hits were by different players and Rudy Solis had two RBI in the first inning, while sophomore Devin Goins scored twice after hitting his first home run of the year in the fourth inning and walking in the seventh.
