The Hornets (34-20, 22-14 WAC) close out the regular season with a series win over UT Rio Grande Valley (29-24, 20-15 WAC) to finish 3rd in the final WAC standings but most importantly secured the 2 seed for the WAC Tournament. The 2 seed gives the Hornets a day 1 bye.
Thursday: 5-4 win. UTRGV gets 3 runs off of Randall in the 7th to tie the game and force extra innings. Both teams score in the 10th and Keith Torres wins the game with a walk off hit in the 11th. Torres went 3 for 5 with 2 doubles and 2 RBIs.
Friday, Game 1: 20-5 win. Hornets win big mainly to a 12 run 6th inning that had a 2 run HR, 3 doubles and a grand slam. Harper got his first win of his career.
Friday, Game 2: 6-5 win. Hornets rally from a 3 run deficit to force extra innings. Smith knocked in the tying run in the 9th. UTRGV scored in the top half of the 10th then Torres came through with a bases loaded single that scored 2 runs to win the game.
Saturday: 2-4 loss. UTRGV rallied in the 6th to tie the game and then tacked on a few more runs late to get a win. Hornets stranded 12 runners in the loss.
