ABILENE, TEXAS – The UT Arlington Maverick baseball team fell to the Abilene Christian Wildcats 4-7, at Crutcher Scott Field this Sunday in the series finale.
 
With the series split at one game apiece, the Mavs came into the series finale off of a strong weekend series, scoring 19 runs produced off of 25 hits throughout the series. However, the offense stalled in the finale with 3 runs off of only 4 hits.
 
The Mavs struck first due to a throwing error made by the ACU catcher which saw Caylon Dygert and Ryan Black come across the plate with no outs in the top of the 1st to take an early 2-0 lead. Black was able to record the Mavs first hit in his first at bat, however, after the duo scored their runs, the Mavs went on to get shutdown for 18 straight batters.
 
It wasn't until the top of the 7th inning that the Mavs got its second hit, which came from Tyson Pointer. Tate Bethel then brought home Pointer off of an RBI double to left-center field to draw.
 
The only other Maverick hit of the day came from Cason Gregory, who secured his in the top of the 8th inning with a single to left field. 
 
 
PITCHING PROFILE
Nicholas Robb came in for relief in the top of the 5th inning and was able to strikeout 3 batters out of the 15 he faced. The freshman was also able to allow just 1 earned run off of 3 hits.
