Game 1: Texas State 2, UTSA 1 (10) Box Score
After ten innings of play over a span of two hours, Courtney Harris would be the one to close out the game when she hit a walk-off double to right center to lift the Bobcats to a 2-1 win over UTSA in game one of the doubleheader.
UTSA was the first team to tally a run when Ashley Kappler doubled down the left field line in the top of the tenth inning to drive in Siera Sproul who was at second base thanks to the international tie breaker rule.
In a score or lose situation, Haley Lemons was placed on second due to the tiebreaker and Chandler Hall was walked to put runners on first and second. Before the start of the tenth inning, Hall was the only Bobcat to record a hit in the game. It would change when Harris knocked the ball to right center to drive in both runners for the win.
