Baseball Edged Out By SHSU, 12-11
5/7/2019 11:43:00 PM | Baseball
HUNTSVILLE, Texas – In a game featuring 23 combined runs on 30 hits between the two teams, Sam Houston State got the most important hit, a walkoff double, to outlast Florida Atlantic University on Tuesday night, 12-11.
Â
"The guys kept grinding, but that is a disappointing loss. We have got to pitch better. We gave (Sam Houston State) too many opportunities, and congrats to them, they turned our mistakes into runs."
Â
The Turning Point
The Owls (32-18) held an 8-0 lead after the top of the third, but SHSU (27-19) battled back to tie it in the fifth and move ahead, 11-8, in the sixth. In the eighth, Joe Montes crushed a three-run home run to tie it, and Dylan Carter worked around a leadoff walk to keep it knotted up heading into the ninth.
Â
The Finish
Mitchell Hartigan led off the ninth with a walk and moved to second on a groundout, but two straight strikeouts stranded him there, as the potential go-ahead run. In the bottom, there was a leadoff walk as well, but Pedro Pages picked off the pinch-runner at first. Unfortunately, another walk set up Jordan Cannon, who doubled to left-center to give the Bearkats the walkoff win.
