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.

The WACT starts Wednesday with the Hornets playing the highest seed that wins on day 1. In all likelihood the Hornets will face UTRGV on Thursday. All games will be on ESPN+ and the WAC Digital Network.
