Kingsville – The St. Mary’s Rattlers ended the Texas A&M-Kingsville Javelinas unbeaten record at home, sweeping them 2-0 and 3-2 at Hubert Field.

   The losses dropped A&M-Kingsville to 10-12 while St. Mary’s improved to 20-4.

   After being shutout in the first game, the Javelinas broke out quickly in game two, scoring two runs on three hits in the opening inning.

   Cassie Anderson led off with a single, Meisha Patterson had an infield single and with two outs Julia Canales (H.M. King) doubled off the left field wall to give the Javelinas the 2-0 lead.

   But the Rattlers got a run in the second, one in the fourth and an unearned run for the game winner in the top of the seventh.

   The Javelinas had scoring chances, but left a runner at second with one out in the second and had a runner at third with just one out in the fourth and the sixth, but couldn’t score.

   In game one the Javelina offense was shutdown by All-American pitcher Malissa Magee who held A&M-Kingsville to just two hits while striking out 15 to improve to 15-2 on the season.

   Courtney Rigamonti pitched well for A&M-Kingsville, allowing only two runs on six hits while striking out three.

   The Javelinas did not pick up a hit until the fifth.  After two outs, Kristin Schumann walked and Jessika Cantu singled to center, but the Javelinas left them stranded.

   In the sixth Cassie Anderson reached on a bunt single and advanced to single on a bunt, but couldn’t advance.

   A&M-Kingsville travels to Canyon this weekend to take on West Texas A&M in a three-game Lone Star Conference series.
