KINGSVILLE, TEXAS (March 16, 2016) -- The Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) baseball team dropped a nine-inning game to NCAA DII Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK) 3-4 Tuesday night.
The Saints are now 13-14 overall, while TAMUK improves to 13-6.
Head Coach Freddy Rodriguez commented: "Last night was a tough loss. We played great the entire game, but just couldn't get that 27th out. Chase Smith (JR/La Porte, Texas) and David Marte (SR/Boston, Mass.) both pitched a great game shutting down a good offensive Kingsville team. I was proud of the execution of our offense in the innings we scored. We were aggressive on the bases and we swung it well last night. It was good to see a lot of balls hit hard and guys gaining confidence. I think our bats are coming around at the right time. This weekend's series will be a test for us on the road. I feel good about the direction we are heading."
