EDINBURG – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) baseball team blew out Western Athletic Conference (WAC) leading Grand Canyon University (GCU) 9-1 on Saturday at UTRGV Baseball Stadium.
 
Senior PSJA alum Jorge Flores (5-3) started for UTRGV (18-17, 4-4 WAC), racking up a career-high 10 strikeouts in 6.2 innings. Flores scattered four hits and four walks while allowing a run on the final pitch he threw, when Austin Bull hit an RBI-double.
 
Offensively, the first five hitters in the UTRGV order combined to go 11-for-25 (.440), as junior Anthony Gomez went 3-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored, senior Austin Siener went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored, sophomore Tyler Torres went 2-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored, senior Ivan Estrella went 2-for-5 with a run scored, and sophomore Coleman Grubbs went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored.
 
UTRGV jumped on GCU (18-16, 9-2 WAC) starter Jake Repavich (2-3) in the first, as Gomez tripled, Grubbs hit an RBI-double, Estrella singled, Siener hit an RBI-single, and Torres hit a two-run triple to put UTRGV up 5-0.
 
UTRGV added a run in the second when Estrella got into a rundown between first and second after hitting a two-out single to allow Grubbs to score from third.
 
In the fifth, junior Ryan Fish laid down a squeeze to bring in a run, freshman Mercedes alum Oliver Closner IV hit an RBI-single and Gomez hit an infield RBI-single to extend the lead to 8-0.
 
Then, with the score 8-1 in the seventh, Gomez knocked in a run with a ground ball to push UTRGV's lead to eight.
