SAN ANGELO, Texas — Angelo State baseball is hoping history repeats itself when they head into game two of the Division 2 college baseball South Central Super Regional against top seed Colorado Mesa Saturday afternoon. The Rams have had their back against the wall before, only to come out triumphant.
Ram pitcher Trent Baker had eight strikeouts in 7.1 innings and only allowed four hits. The Mavericks and Rams went into extra innings scoreless until the bottom of the 11th when Colorado Mesa's Johnny Carr hit a bases-loaded single off of Ram pitcher Fabian Muniz to bring home the winning run.
Fabian was the only other Angelo State pitcher to enter the game and throwing the final three innings and giving up one run on six hits. The game was a close pitching duel all night, but the Mavericks out hit the Rams 10-5. Both teams stranded nine base-runners through out the 11 innings played.
