ARLINGTON, TEXAS – The UT Arlington Maverick baseball team took the conference-play opening series against the Utah Tech Trailblazers by a final score of 5-3 at Clay Gould Ballpark this Saturday.
Â
The Mavericks took an early lead in the bottom of the 2nd inning thanks to an onslaught of hits and clutch batting. Tate bethel opened the inning with a double to right center, Cade Sumbler then roped a single to the right field line which put Bethel on 3rd. Garrison Berkley hit a SAC groundout to plate Bethel to take an early 1-0 lead. Cason Gregory roped another hit in the right-field line and advanced Sumbler all the way to third. A bunt laid down by Jackson Hill that caused a fielding error, Sumbler was able to score a run which put the Mavs up 2-0.
Â
The Mavs continued to roll in the bottom of the 4th inning, scoring 2 more runs due to a Ryan Black triple which plated Berkley and Gregory to take a 4-0 lead. The Trailblazers took a run back in the top of the 5th to cut the lead to 4-1, however the Mavs punched right back with a run of its own thanks to a Parker Airhart solo homerun to regain a 4-run lead.Â
Â
The Mavs were able to hold off a late Trailblazer push that saw 2 runs get plated in the top of the 9th inning that cut the lead to 5-3. Nicholas Robb came in for relief in a tough situation with one out and runners on first and second, however the freshman was able to come in and shutdown a Trailblazer comeback. Robb came in and was able to groundout his first batter faced to draw just 1 out away from his save, however a walk to the next batter caused the bases to be loaded. The freshman was able to strikeout the final batter in a astonishing fashion to propel the Mavs to its second straight win of the season, the first time all season the Mavs have been able to do so.
