HOUSTON, Texas - The Austin College baseball team finished its 2024 campaign strong, splitting its doubleheader at the University of St. Thomas on Sunday, giving the 'Roos two out of three wins for the weekend and a series victory to end the year. The 'Roos dropped an 11-1 game one decision before rebounding with a 7-5 game two win.
The Celts jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first in game one and never looked back, plating two more runs in the second and then three in each of the third and fourth innings to take an 11-1 lead. Erik Garza had a two-run triple in the first and Alex Trinh added a triple to score two runs in the third as St. Thomas took its big early lead. Austin College managed to get on the board in the fifth with an RBI single by Tino Ramirez, but the game would end in the seventh via the run-rule.
Tyler Ramage took the loss for Austin College, giving up five runs (four earned) on five hits in 2.0 innings of work, while five different players had a hit apiece for the 'Roos. Dillon McKee went 3-for-3 for St. Thomas.
After a scoreless first inning in the series finale, Austin College erupted for four runs in the top of the second. Brandon Hill tripled home a pair of runs in the inning, with Greg Smith and RayShawn Riley each knocking in a run to put the 'Roos on top. Scott Hosmer came home to score on a wild pitch in the third to make it 5-0, and Mason Woodhouse had a two-run triple in the fifth to push the Austin College lead to 7-0.
St. Thomas began to chip away at the margin with a run in the fourth and then two more in the fifth, and the Celts plated two more to cut it to a 7-5 game through six innings of play. However, the 'Roos managed to shut down the UST comeback over the final three innings, with Brant Stuber coming on to earn his SCAC-leading sixth save after giving up no runs and only one hit in 1.1 innings. Jonas Ceballos picked up the win, going 5.0 innings and surrendering five runs (four earned) on eight hits with four strikeouts. Hill went 3-for-4 with two RBI to pace Austin College offensively.
