In the final matchup of a three-game series, sophomore right fielder Aaron Funk hit a pinch-hit three-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to secure a 4-2 win for the Mavericks on Sunday and series sweep the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders to improve to 5-7 on the year.
Funk's home run came with the Mavericks trailing 2-1 after giving up two runs in the second inning and scoring a run of their own in the seventh inning off an RBI single from senior left fielder Quintin Rohrbaugh.
Junior pitcher Jakob Hernandez pitched a complete game, giving up six hits and two earned runs and striking out 10 batters.
