Friday night, junior starting pitcher Kadon Simmons gave up a five earned runs and picked up his second loss of the season in an 8-3 loss. The loss was his first since his start of the season against Stephen F. Austin, when he gave up four earned runs.
The Warhawks scored a quick four runs off Simmons in the first inning, but he was able to settle down and give up only two runs over the next five innings.
However, offensively the Mavericks missed several opportunities and scored only three runs on seven hits and left 10 runners on base.
