Box Score
ARLINGTON, Texas - UT-Arlington second baseman Daniel Rieder went 3-for-4 with an RBI and Erik Cartmill picked up the victory in his first career start as the Mavericks swept the midweek series from Hawai'i-Hilo with a 7-4 victory Wednesday evening at Clay Gould Ballpark.

After a wild pitch, Adam Moore drove in a run with a groundout to shortstop. Smith stole third and scored on Robby Winn's sacrifice fly to center field.
The Mavs took advantage of fielding miscue to push two unearned runs across in the second. With one out, Kyle Rudy reached on a fielding error by the third baseman and Brock Wilson followed with a walk. After a double steal, Colin Booher plated a run with a groundout to first. Rieder drove in the second run with a opposite field dunk over the head of the third baseman.
