Baseball closes out series with UTSA with a win

The Marshall University baseball team defeated the University of Texas at San Antonio by the score three to two. The win gave Marshall the series win two games to one at Power Park in Charleston, West Virginia to conclude the first series of conference play.

The Sunday afternoon game was gray and chilly all day. The Roadrunners looked like they were going to have a quick start; getting baserunners early in the contest off a double and single in the first inning, but Marshall’s defense and quality pitching by Patrick Murphy held the Roadrunners at bay.

After the initial surge in the top of the first inning, defense took over for both sides as the teams were scoreless through the first three innings.
