The Saints are now 9-12 overal and 1-3 in the Red River Athletic Conferece, while the Gthey woenerals are 7-11 overall and 3-1 in conference.
Head Coach Freddy Rodriguez commented: "This was a tough series. I think we learned a lot about ourselves this weekend. We gave away two tough games, but we responded well for the win in game four. We had the lead late in games two and three and weren't able to finish. We made some costly mistakes both on the pitching and defensive side of the ball late in both games that allowed them to extend innings and eventually score the go-ahead runs. We were able to finally put it all together in game four and finish. Chase Smith (JR/La Porte, Texas) did an outstanding job coming out of the pen keeping us in the game and shutting them down. He pounded the zone and threw all of his pitches with confidence. He was really dialed in tonight. We fought and the guys never stopped competing all weekend. In our big series this weekend at home against Huston-Tillotson, we need to continue to improve and finish games when we're ahead."
