SAN ANTONIO, Texas - The Florida Atlantic University baseball team was held to four hits and fell for the first time in series play this season as UTSA clinched the three-game set with a 6-0 shutout win on a cold and windy Saturday at Roadrunner Field.
The Turning Point
An RBI groundout in the second inning pushed UTSA (20-17, 9-8 Conference USA) ahead, and they added two more runs in the fourth and three in the fifth. Meanwhile, Roadrunners' starting pitcher Nolan Trabanino was putting up nothing but zeroes, allowing just one hit up until that point.
The Finish
A trio of FAU (24-13-1, 11-6 C-USA) relievers went 3 2/3 combined innings and only one UTSA baserunner reached after they plated their final run. But Trabanino matched that, scattering three hits over his last four innings of work, including a perfect ninth to end it, going the distance on 138 pitches.
Notables
Quotable
"Credit to UTSA's pitcher, he threw a great game against us today," said Head Coach John McCormack. "We could not get anything going all day. They were able to put together two good innings and made them stand. Tomorrow's game is a big one and we have to be ready to play."
