Baseball Takes Game One of Doubleheader From Dixie State

ST. GEORGE, Utah – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros baseball team scored 10 runs across the fifth and sixth innings to take the first game of a doubleheader from the Dixie State University Trailblazers 13-3 in six innings on Saturday at Bruce Hurst Field.
 
Junior Freddy Rojas Jr. led the Vaqueros (10-8, 3-3 WAC) offensively by homering for the second-straight game and finishing 2-for-3 with a walk, a season-high three RBI and two runs scored. Postbaccalaureate student Christian Sepulveda went a season-high tying 3-for-4 with a career-high tying two doubles, his first-career triple, three RBI, and a season-high tying two runs scored. Graduate student Conrado Diaz finished 2-for-5 with two runs scored. Graduate student Elijah Alexander went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored. Graduate student Coleman Grubbsreached base twice, going 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored.
 
The Vaqueros trailed 2-1 when Rojas launched a two-run home run off of Ryan Hardman (0-2) to give the Vaqueros the lead in the third.
 
In the fifth, graduate student Andy Atwood came up with two on and nobody out and singled up the middle to bring in a run. One out later, junior Angel De La Cruz lifted a sacrifice fly. One batter after that, Sepulveda hit a two-run triple and then scored on a bunt single by Alexander.
 
The Vaqueros added five more runs in the sixth on a two-run home run by De La Cruz and RBI-doubles by Sepulveda, Alexander and junior Darian Luper.
 
That made a winner of graduate student Max Balderrama Jr. (3-0), who pitched 6.0 innings for his second-career complete game, striking out six while allowing three runs on five hits and one walk.
 
Rojas initially gave the Vaqueros a 1-0 led with an RBI-double in the first.
 
The Trailblazers (3-11, 2-4 WAC) took the lead in the bottom of the inning on a two-run double by Kaden Hollow, who finished 2-for-3.
 
That was it for the Trailblazers until the fifth, when Cade Spurlin came up with a sacrifice fly to make the score 8-3.
