Baseball hosts Rice in four-game series UTSA baseball will open a four-game series with Rice on Friday

UTSA baseball will open a four-game series with Rice on Friday at 6 p.m. at Roadrunner Field. The series will resume with a pair of seven-inning games on Saturday, starting at 2 p.m., and conclude on Sunday at 1 p.m. All four games will be broadcast live on CUSA TV. 
 
UTSA (15-15, 7-8 Conference USA) is coming off a Sunday win at No. 21 Charlotte in the Queen City, 11-5, using a seven-run 10th inning to rally past the 49ers, who had a school-record 12-game winning streak snapped. 
 
The series marks a return trip from the conference opening weekend in Houston on March 26-28, which saw the Roadrunners claiming three of four, with a 16-4 run-rule win on Friday, falling 10-8 in the doubleheader opener on Saturday, before claiming a 4-1 win in the nightcap and an 11-3 win in the finale. It marked UTSA's second straight series win over the Owls, the only two series wins for UTSA in program history. 
 
The Roadrunners will turn to freshman righty Kyle Sonduck (0-0, 7.50 ERA) for his first career start, in the series opener against Rice righty Roel Garcia (1-2, 5.45 ERA). Sonduck has worked in five games in relief, striking out seven in six innings. Garcia has made eight starts, walking 12 and striking out 30 in 36.1 innings. 
 
In the doubleheader opener on Saturday, junior Jacob Jimenez (1-1, 6.75 ERA) will make his first start of the year, opposite Rice starter Mitchell Holcomb (4-4, 7.20 ERA). Jimenez has worked in 2.2 innings on the year over two relief outings. Holcomb has appeared in 10 games with a team-best nine starts, working 45 innings, allowing just eight hits with 40 strikeouts and 61 hits allowed. 
 
The Roadrunners have hit .294/.390/.474 as a team in 2021, with 52 doubles, four triples, 41 homers and 235 runs scored, stealing 21 bases. On the mound, UTSA has a 5.25 ERA in 252 innings, walking 122 and striking out 226. 
 
UTSA has been paced at the dish by senior Griffin Paxton, who has hit .354 with five homers and 24 RBI. Senior catcher Nick Thornquist has batted .342 with seven homers and 28 RBI, with junior infielder Joshua Lamb hitting .333 with 10 doubles, five homers and 31 RBI. Junior outfielder Dylan Rock has slugged five homers and driven in 24 runs with a .311 average. Outfielder Ian Bailey has slugged six homers and hit .261. 
 
Righties Luke Malone (2-1, 5.70 ERA) and Hunter Mason (4-5, 5.93 ERA), and lefty Grant Miller (0-1, 6.75 ERA) have each appeared in double-digit games. 
 
Rice has hit .264.348/.396 as a team in 2021, scoring 196 runs in 37 games, with 44 doubles, seven triples, 33 homers and a 139-264 walk-strikeout ratio. Rice has stolen 27 of 35 bases and fielded .974, turning 25 double plays and throwing out 16 would-be stealers. On the mound, Rice has a 6.47 team ERA, allowing 163 walks and 345 hits in 308.2 innings, striking out 301. 
 
Braden Comeaux has hit a team-leading .338 for the Owls, with Bradley Gneiting batting .293 with five homers and 23 RBI. Cade Edwards has hit a team-high eight homers, driving in 24 runs and hitting .292. In relief, Guy Garibay (1-1, 3.68 ERA) has a team-leading three saves in 14.2 innings. Drake Greenwood (0-1, 6.91 ERA) has worked in 11 games in a relief. Brandon Deskins (1-4, 4.84 ERA) has fanned a team-leading 54 and walked 20 in 35.1 innings. 
 
The Roadrunners enter the series with the Owls having won the last two series matchups between the two teams, the first series wins for UTSA in series history. UTSA trails the all-time series 11-24 and own a 4-6 mark in games played in San Antonio. UTSA has won six of the last eight games with Rice, the best stretch in program history. 
 
The series matchup marks UTSA Coach Pat Hallmark's second matchup Rice as the head man of the Roadrunners, after UTSA claimed the series win early in the year. Hallmark, a product of Houston's Westbury High School, and a former star catcher for the Owls, led Rice to the NCAA Tournament in every season he suited up for the Owls, including his time as an assistant from 2006-16, where Rice made three College World Series appearances. He earned all-conference honors for legendary coach Wayne Graham in 1995. 

UTSA used a seven-run 10th inning to rally past No. 21 Charlotte and post an 11-5 win at the league-leading 49ers – snapping their school-record 11-game winning streak, on Sunday afternoon at Hayes Stadium. 
 
UTSA (15-15, 7-8 Conference USA) snapped Charlotte's 11-game winning streak with the furious rally in the seventh inning, which was played under international tiebreaker rules with a runner placed on second base to open each half of the extra innings. 
 
UTSA batted around in the top of the 10th, scoring seven runs – highlighted by a two-run homer from Dylan Rock and a two-run triple from Ryan Hunt – before closing out the win by allowing just the tiebreaker runner to score for the final margin in the bottom of the 10th.
 
UTSA opened the game with four in the first inning but Charlotte responded with two in the bottom of the game and evened it with two in the bottom of the third. The teams then squared off in a pitching duel of middle relievers, as seven straight scoreless innings took the game into extra innings. 
 
It marked UTSA's sixth extra-inning game of the year, its most since playing six in 2011. 
 
The Roadrunners were led by homers from Rock and Joshua Lamb, with Lamb driving in four runs in a two-hit game and Rock driving in a pair and adding two walks. Junior outfielder Ryan Hunt, making is fourth career start, went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a triple. UTSA also got hits from Nick Thornquist, Leyton Barry, Taylor Barber, Chase Keng and Griffin Paxton. Keng had a triple to open the scoring in the 10th and Paxton stretched his hitting streak to 18 games with a 1-for-5 outing. 
 
UTSA starter Pepper Jones worked two-plus innings, allowing six hits and four runs, walking two with a strikeout. After the first four hitters reached to open the third inning, UTSA turned to freshman Daniel Garza in relief. Garza spun a gem, allowing just two singles and two walks over five shutout innings, striking out two. 
 
With a 2-0 count on the leadoff hitter to open the eighth inning, lefty Grant Miller took over for Garza, issuing a walk before Jacob Jimenez emerged from the bullpen. Jimenez (1-1) earned the win, allowing no runs in two shutout innings in his second outing of the year. Luke Malone worked the 10th inning, getting three quick outs to clinch the win. 
 
Charlotte (25-10, 14-2 C-USA) starter Kolton Scherbenske did not record an out, allowing a single and a pair of walks to open the game. Lefty Trae Starnes came on in relief with the bases loaded in the first inning, getting three outs before giving way to Andrew Lindsey. Lindsey worked seven shutout innings, allowing six singles and two walks, striking out six. Charlotte used Christian Lothes in a shutout ninth before handing the ball to Jackson Boss in the 10th, who allowed three runs on three hits, getting an out in the frame. Casey Bargo came on with an out in the 10th inning, allowing three runs over two outs recorded. 
 
UTSA will return to action on Friday, starting a four-game series with Rice, starting at 6 p.m. at Roadrunner Field. 
 
For the fourth straight game to open the series, UTSA scored first, plating four runs on two hits and two walks in the first inning. Paxton led off with a single up the middle and Rock and Thornquist followed with walks to load the bases. Chase Keng then lined a sacrifice fly out to leftfield, allowing Paxton to score the first run of the game. Lamb then smashed a three-run homer over the fence in left-centerfield, his fifth home run of the year. 
 
The 49ers answered in the bottom of the first inning, getting a leadoff walk, a hit by pitch and an RBI double from Dominic Pilolli to get on the board. Carson Johnson then loaded the bases with one out for Todd Elwood, who forced home a run with a fielder's choice up the middle, just beating out the back end of a potential double play. 
 
Pilolli tied up the game with a two-run homer – his third of the weekend and fourth of the year – to open the third inning, scoring Austin Knight, who led off the inning with a single. 
 
UTSA opened the 10th inning with Thornquist placed on second base in international tie-breaker rules on getaway day. Keng tripled him home with a liner off the wall in left-centerfield, scoring after Lamb hung a sacrifice fly to right. Barry followed with a double and Gutierrez singled on a bunt knock, putting runners on the corners with one out. Hunt then scored the pair with a triple down the leftfield line, taking advantage of the Charlotte decision to play with a two-man outfield and a five-man infield. Jonathan Tapia then forced home Hunt with a sacrifice bunt against the Charlotte infield, playing just on the dirt with five men. Rock then followed a Paxton hit-and-run groundout with a two-run homer, his fifth of the year, as UTSA plated seven runs in the frame for an 11-4 lead. 
 
Charlotte plated its tiebreaking runner to open the bottom of the 10th inning, as a pair of productive groundouts cut the lead to 11-5.
