SAN MARCOS, Texas – Texas State piled up nine hits and scored seven runs on a day with seven errors split between the Bobcats and UC Davis. Unfortunately, UC Davis also scored seven in a 10-inning game called early due to travel for the Aggies.
 
Cedric Vallieres knocked a seventh-inning home run to put the Bobcats up, 6-5, late in the game for his first career roundtripper at Texas State. The Aggies, however, scored three runs in the ninth and 10^th innings continuing a trend they've shown all weekend with the ability to score late.
 
Texas State kept finding a way to answer back though, keeping the game alive with runs in the ninth and 10^th innings to finish in a tie.
 
Cody Lovejoy and freshman Jaylen Hubbard paced the Bobcats with two hits each while five others tallied a hit for Texas State. Granger Studdard scored twice while Lovejoy, Vallieres and freshman Derek Scheible finished with RBIs.
 
After two scoreless innings, the Bobcats jumped on the board in the bottom of the third. Freshman Luke Sherley started everything off with a two-out single through the left side for his first collegiate hit. Lovejoy followed with a single through the right side to push Sherley to third base. Lovejoy went to second on the throw. With both runners in scoring position, Vallieres snuck one past the third baseman to plate Sherley and give Texas State the early 1-0 lead.
 
The Aggies scored four runs, all unearned, in response in the top of the fourth, but would not score again until the ninth inning. Texas State, however, was able to answer thanks to a couple of first career hits for Scheible and Hubbard. Studdard started the offense with a single up the middle and Scheible and Hubbard followed with singles to load the bases. Studdard and Scheible scored on the next play, a UC Davis error.
 
Down one, in the bottom of the sixth, Texas State was able to tie it. Studdard went all the way to third on a UC Davis error to start the Bobcat at bat. Scheible plated him with a sacrifice fly next to tie the game, 4-4.
 
In the bottom of the seventh inning, Vallieres put Texas State up, 5-4, with a solo home run over the left field fence. He knocked his first roundtripper of the year on a 2-2 pitch with two outs.
 
After two runs in the top of the ninth to put UC Davis on top, 6-5, Texas State started the bottom of the ninth with a leadoff single up the middle from Hubbard. Tanner Hill stepped up next to sacrifice bunt Hubbard into scoring position. Later, with two outs, Lovejoy came up big with an RBI single to right field to tie the game. The senior fell behind in the count, 0-2, but worked it back to 2-2 and sent his hit down the right line to plate Hubbard and tie it, 6-6, with two outs.
 
The Aggies, much like they had all weekend, continued to prove they can score late. They scored another run in the top of the 10^th to go up 7-6 and put the pressure back on the Bobcats. But, with the bases loaded, Blake Whitter came in with an impressive set of pitches for a big strikeout to bring the Bobcats up to bat.
 
Matt Sanchez led off the bottom of the inning with an infield single, using his speed to leg it out. He went to second base on a groundout. After that, Studdard put the ball in play and Sanchez scored on the fourth UC Davis error of the day. Studdard went to second on the play, but the Bobcats weren't able to knock him home to get the win. The game was called at the conclusion of the 10^th inning due to travel for UC Davis.
 
Texas State will next be in action Tuesday at 6 p.m. against Sam Houston State at Bobcat Ballpark.
