Box Score

AUSTIN, Texas – Closing its nine-game road swing and first trip across the Mississippi River in program history, USC Upstate baseball dropped its series finale at No. 3 Texas, falling 13-3 in eight innings Sunday at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.

Leading the Spartans at the plate, redshirt sophomore catcher Tyler Lang notched his team-best eighth multi-hit game of the season—he has multiple hits in eight of his nine games with a hit this year—closing the day going 2-for-4 with a double. His double drove home two of Upstate's runs in the fifth, registering his third multi-RBI game of the season.

Senior first baseman Wylie Waters continued his strong weekend in the batter's box, following up on his career-high-tying three-hit performance Saturday with two more hits Sunday. Adding the Spartans' other RBI in the contest, redshirt senior third baseman Jake Armsey drove home his third run of the weekend in the series finale.
