LAFAYETTE — It was only fitting that a game dominated by superb pitching would be decided on a wild pitch that went right down the middle of the plate.
With the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the 10th inning of Friday’s season opener at M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field, Sam Houston State catcher Robie Rojas set up on the far outside corner of the plate, and pitcher Miles Manning threw it down the center. Rojas couldn’t handle the pitch, allowing Louisiana-Lafayette’s Derek Herrington to race home as the winning run in a 2-1 victory.
