You wouldn't believe, well, maybe you would. Texas State suffered another close loss at UFCU Disch-Falk Field, falling to No. 4 Texas, 6-5.
Everything went well for the Bobcats through the first six innings of Tuesday's game. Texas State held a 5-2 lead and even belted its first home run at The Disch since 2008.
Andrew Stumph crushed his third home run of the season, a three-run shot in the second inning, to put the Bobcats ahead 4-0. Stumph walloped the ball to the deepest part of the park (center field).
Texas State received a great performance from Brian Borski on the mound as well. Borski, who celebrated his 21st birthday Tuesday, tossed seven innings of two-run ball and struck out five. He left in the top of the seventh with a three-run lead and a possible win ready to be added to his credit.
Well, the Bobcats' defense wouldn't let him get the win, as they committed two errors in the final two innings that allowed the Longhorns second life. Texas finally broke Texas State's hearts with a two-run triple by Paul Montalbano with two outs in the eighth.
Player of the Game — It's a tough decision, but Tuesday's award goes to Borski. The birthday boy pitched his best game of the season. Unfortunately, Borski was unable to get the win. He earned it though.
Quotables
Texas State head coach Ty Harrington on his thoughts following the game — "Defense is something that’s very important and critical in the game and I think it decided the game, obviously. I thought it was very well-pitched on both behalves. Both teams performed competitively. I thought it was fun, to be honest with you. I didn’t enjoy the outcome but I certainly enjoyed the process."
