by a pitch, which extended his reaching base safely streak to 41 games. Ryne Foster (Fr./Cedar Park, Texas/Cedar Park HS) gave up eight hits and nine
runs in one and two-third innings to fall to 0-2.

drove in two runs while Michael McKennon was 4-for-6, scored two runs and
drove in four runs. Jacob Sansom gave up five hits and four runs in five
innings to improve to 1-0.
"When you give up 13 runs in the first two
innings, you are not pitching." Said head coach Willie Gawlik. "Texas-San
Antonio took advantage of our pitching today. With 15 of their 20 base hits
going for extra bases, that means they hit the ball well. When you have two out,
you cannot let your opponent score ten runs. Someone has to make a play and we
didn't. It was just one of those days."
