First pitch is set for 7:50 p.m. with Travis Ballew taking the mound against Mike Wisecarver.
First Inning
Texas State gets a bloop single from Casey Kalenkosky, but nothing else. Bear Comer led off with a single for Nicholls State, but a fortunate bounce turned into a double play in the next at-bat, then a line out ended the frame.
Second Inning
Texas State wasted an opportunity with two on and one out. Cory Falvey and Clint Vest reached base, but Bret Atwood grounded into a 4-6-3 double play. Nicholls State goes down in order. Ballew has faced the minimum thus far.
Third Inning
Texas State gave Ballew a four-run lead after four runs on five hits. Andrew Stumph and Kyle Kubitza each roped RBI doubles and Falvey (2-for-2) singled home another. Nicholls State got a single by Philip Lyons, who advanced to second on a pitch in the dirt, but Ballew struck out Comer to end the inning.
Fourth Inning
Texas State's bats continue to come alive as it collected five hits -- two for extra bases -- and three runs. Things are looking good for the Bobcats as they lead 7-0. Nicholls State goes down in order.
Fifth Inning
Texas State put two on with no outs, but a poor bunt by Atwood turned into a double play and then Gallegos grounded out. Ballew wrapped three outs around a Nicholls State triple.
Sixth Inning
Texas State gets nothing, but Nicholls State put two across to slice the Bobcats' lead to five.
Seventh Inning
Four runs on five hits for Texas State as the Bobcats open up a nine-run lead. Stumph struck out with the bases loaded to end a threat. Ballew struck out the side in the Nicholls State side of the inning, wrapping it around a single.
Eighth Inning
Texas State goes down in order. Nicholls State puts up another zero.
Ninth Inning
Texas State tacks on three more behind five hits. The Bobcats have 24 hits tonight, tying a season high. Nicholls State can't mount a ridiculous rally.
Game over.
