CHICAGO, Illinois – Jonathan Sa pitched his first career complete game, but the University of Texas-Pan American Broncs baseball team fell to the Chicago State University Cougars 3-0 in game one of a doubleheader on Saturday at Brooks Field.
 
Sa (1-2) pitched a career-high eight innings and recorded a career-high eight strikeouts while allowing three runs on eight hits and three walks.
 
The Cougars (7-29, 5-10 GWC) got on the board right away. After loading the bases with nobody out in the first, Jeremy Ratajczyk hit an RBI-single and, one out later, William Hill hit into an RBI-fielder's choice to make it 2-0.
 
In the fifth, Ryan Malhotra hit a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0.

The Broncs (22-13, 9-6 GWC) were led by Roger Bernal, who had two of their four hits and is now 6-for-12 in the series.
