GLOBE LIFE FIELD – The 2021 season started off with a bang for the UT Arlington baseball team, run-ruling the Tarleton State Texans 14-1 (7) at Globe Life Field on Tuesday night.
Â
The Mavericks used five pitchers in the seven-inning game, with no pitching going more than two innings. Kody Bullard (W, 1-0) started and earned the win, striking out four batters in 2.0 innings pitched. The Mavericks combined for 10 strikeouts (Bullard – 4, Carlos Tavera – 1, Cade Winquest – 2, David Moffat – 1, Riley Bost – 2).
Â
UTA finished with 15 hits on the day. Connor Aube, Wyatt Divis, Dylan Paul, Phillip Childs and Tyler Rice each finished with two hits. Andrew Miller and Paul finished with a team-high three RBI on the night, while Miller led the Mavs with three runs scored. Paul finished with a 1.000 on-base percentage, going 2-for-2 at the plate and earning two walks.
Â
The Mavs wasted no time getting on the board. Paul drove in the first two runs of the season with a single to left field in the first inning, before Josh Minjarez knocked in Paul with a double to right field.
Â
The second inning was the lone scoreless inning for the Mavericks, as Paul put UTA back on the board in the third with a double to right field. Childs and Rice picked up singles through the left side of the infield to put the Mavs up 6-0 after three.
Â
The scoring continued in the fourth as Aube, Miller and Childs each knocked in one run a piece.
Â
The Texans got one back in the fifth with a sacrifice fly, but Miller nullified it with a three-run double, while Childs extended the game with another single up the middle.
Â
Freshman Cason Gregory made the most out of his lone at-bat, cracking a double to center field, which was muffed and allowed Rice to score the final run of the game.
Â
The Mavericks will be back in action tomorrow night against No. 25 Oklahoma at 7:30 p.m. at Globe Life Field.
