SAN MARCOS, Texas – Junior Wesley Faison capped off the night for the Texas State baseball team (13-4) with a walk-off home run to run-rule I-35 rival UTSA (10-7) 11-1 in eight innings Tuesday night at Bobcat Ballpark. It is the second straight week that the Bobcats have run-ruled a midweek opponent.
 
The win extends TXST's winning streak to six games. It is also the best start for the program since the 2011 team began the year with a 15-4 record.
 
Earning his second straight win on the mound was Tony Robie (3-0). The freshman right-hander went five innings and gave up a run on seven hits while striking out one and not issuing a free pass. Cole McKay (1-2) took the loss as he surrendered a run on a hit and walk.
 
Also seeing action on the mound for Texas State was Cameron Bush and Jacob Little. Bush tossed two scoreless innings with a strikeout and a walk. Little threw a scoreless frame and struck out two.
 
Faison was the lone Bobcat with a multi-hit game with a 2-for-4 performance at the plate. Both he and Cole Coffey drove in three runs apiece. Peyton Lewis plated two runs as well.
 
Will Hollis was 1-for-1, scored twice and drew a career-high four walks, one shy of matching the program record for a game. Overall, TXST was issued a season-high 11 free passes.
 
The scoring began for the Bobcats with two outs in the second as Peyton Lewis hit his first career home run, a two-run shot down the right field line. John Wuthrich drove in the third run of the inning as he doubled down the left field line.
 
Dalton Shuffield laid down a perfect bunt to bring in the fourth run for the Bobcats. Faison closed out the scoring in the second with a bloop single to center field that landed in the middle of three Roadrunner fielders.
 
UTSA scored their lone run of the game in the fifth when Dylan Rock hit his first homer of the season to left center.
 
In the bottom half of the inning, Jaxon Williams led off by drawing a walk and advanced to second on a passed ball. He broke for third on a pitch in the dirt. The throw from the catcher was off the mark and Williams went on to score after hurdling the third baseman as he started toward home plate.
 
The sixth saw the Roadrunners' pitchers issued four consecutive walks as Faison was credited with his second RBI of the game. Two batters later, Cole Coffey laced a double to right center that cleared the bases and increased TXST's lead to 10-1.
 
On just the third pitch of the eighth, Faison blasted his sixth home run of the season to make it a 10-run advantage and end the game early.
 
The Bobcats are back in action on Wednesday at 4 p.m. against Prairie View A&M at Bobcat Ballpark.
