Roadrunners Rally Late to Edge Islanders
SAN ANTONIO (Interstat) — Texas-San Antonio scored two runs in the eighth inning to break a tie and defeat Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 3-1 at Roadrunner Field on Tuesday.
The game was knotted 1-1 after Islanders second baseman Cade Sanchez hit a solo home run in the sixth, answering a second-inning RBI single by UTSA’s Hallmark. In the decisive eighth, Miller’s double brought home Ballin, who scored on a throwing error by Sanchez. Miller later scored on Haworth’s fielder’s choice.
