SAN MARCOS, Texas – The Texas State baseball team topped Stephen F. Austin 6-3 Sunday afternoon in a battle that stretched across two days at Bobcat Ballpark.

The Bobcats (5-4) led 2-1 after five innings Saturday night before the game was halted due to persistent rain showers in the area. The maroon and gold then came back today and outscored the Lumberjacks (0-9) 4-2 across the final four frames.

Junior Connor Reich (2-0) threw all 5.0 innings Saturday and earned the win on the mound. He allowed just one unearned run on no hits, while striking out six and walking two. Sophomore Zachary Leigh tossed the first 3.0 frames Sunday and gave up two unearned markers on three hits, while striking out two and walking one. Junior Brayden Theriot issued three walks in the ninth, but he did his job and kept the visitors off the scoreboard to earn his second save of the year.

Senior Dylan Paul went 2-for-3 with an RBI in the game, while classmate Derek Scheible and junior Jaylen Hubbard both scored twice.

SFA failed to register a hit Saturday but ended the game with three hits total Sunday. Those were from Nick Daley, Jared Martin and Skylar Black.

Starting pitcher Trevor Kiminski (0-2) was saddled with the loss after allowing two unearned runs on one hit in the first 4.0 innings. Dru Dziedzic allowed three runs on three hits in 1.1 innings, and Austin Hearn conceded one final tally on three hits in the final 1.2 frames.

Texas State outhit Stephen F. Austin 7-3, and both teams committed three errors.
