A LOOK AT LAST TIME OUT
Tarleton took on No. 18 Texas A&M-Kingsville and took three out of four games against the Javelinas at the Cecil Ballow Baseball Complex. The Texans outscored the Javelinas 24-6 in the three wins.
LSC PITCHER OF THE WEEK
After throwing his first career complete-game shutout last weekend,
Evan Pontley has been named the Lone Star Conference Pitcher of the Week. Pontley was spectacular for the Texans last weekend as the senior pitcher fired his first shutout to lift Tarleton over No. 14 Texas A&M-Kingsville 2-0 in game three of the series. He carried a one-hitter into the seventh before a weakly hit infield single provided the only other hit for the Javelinas, but Pontley sat down the next three hitters in order to finish off the shutout. He struck out four and held Kingsville to a .091 batting average.
INSIDE THE SERIES
Tarleton and Angelo State are meeting for the 70
th time in program history when the series opens up. The Texans trail the series 24-45 since they first met in 2005. The Texas are 9-21 when playing in San Angelo. Tarleton has won the last two games against Angelo State.
