The baseball team (8-15, 2-4) returned to the field last weekend against Troy University after losing six of its last seven games.
After getting swept in the first Sun Belt series, the Mavericks didn’t waste their second chance and won the series against the Trojans 2-1.
Head coach Darin Thomas said the team played well but knew they could do better.
“[It was] a good weekend, not a great weekend, and we got to find a way to turn these good weekends into great weekends,” Thomas said. (CQD: 0:03 DT AP)
