ARLINGTON, TEXAS – The UT Arlington Maverick baseball fell to the Grand Canyon Lopes in the third game of the series 7-4 to drop the series, two games to one.

GAME FLOW
The Lopes struck first for the third-straight game, taking an early 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st inning and scored 3 more runs to extend its lead to 4-0 throughout the first three innings.

The Mavs got on the board in the bottom of the 4th inning after Parker Airhart roped an RBI double down the right-field line to plate Tyson Pointer, and Kyzer Harrington scored Ryan Ellis, who reached base on a walk and was advanced to third on Airhart's double, to cut the Lopes lead to just 4-2.

In the bottom of the 5th, the Mavs were able to tie the game at 4 runs a piece after Pointer recorded an RBI single to plate JD Moreno, who reached second base after a wild pitch, to plate the first run. Pointer was able to steal second base and was brought in by Ryan Ellis after a single down the right-field line to tie the game, 4-4.

The Lopes took control of the game in the top of the 8th inning by scoring three runs to jump out to a 7-4 advantage, which is where the game stayed.
