Baseball team loses comeback attempt against Louisiana Tech
The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs handed the baseball team its fourth consecutive loss as they scored two runs in the 11th inning to win 6-4 Sunday at Clay Gould Ballpark.
"We're not doing what it takes at the plate to be a good club," head coach Darin Thomas said. "And we're making crucial mistakes defensively that are costing us."
The Mavericks didn't score a run through the first five innings and trailed 4-0 to begin the bottom of the sixth inning.
UTA's first run of the game came unconventionally, as a walk, and a single and a fielder's choice led to the Mavericks cutting into the Bulldogs lead to make it 4-1 to heading into the seventh inning.
