Javelinas take down TAMIU, 7-5, in extra innings affair

Junior Michael Cervantes plated the winning run with a double in the 10th

LAREDO, Texas- On Friday, The Texas A&M-Kingsville baseball team took a Lone Star Conference series opener 7-5, with a two-RBI double by junior Michael Cervantes in the top of the 10th propelling the Pack to an extra-innings victory over Texas A&M-International at Jorge Haynes Field. 
 
The Javelinas (25-22, 24-23 LSC) rallied from down four runs to beat the Dustdevils (17-26, 16-25 LSC) with a three-run home run by junior Shelby Becker, helping the team come back before Cervantes' double put the squad in front late. 
 
Freshman Marco Martinez (3-3) earned the win for TAMUK, throwing the final 3.2 innings and allowing just one hit with a strikeout. Caleb Strmiska (0-2) was dealt the loss as the opposition used five relief pitchers throughout the contest. 
 
Cervantes' two-bagger capped off a 4-for-4 day for the utility infielder, while sophomore Jake Chapman, junior Jacob Rosales, and Becker all logged multiple hits. 
 
The Dustdevils scored early, knocking in a pair of runs in the first before taking a 3-0 lead in the second. Junior Kobe Jaramillo then tossed two scoreless frames ahead of another TAMIU run in the bottom of the fifth. 
 
The Javelinas equalized with four runs in the top of the sixth, following a leadoff double by redshirt sophomore Dalton Kramer. Chapman then knocked him home on a sharply hit ball into center field. Rosales legged out an infield single, and Becker smashed a home run over the wall into left field, knotting the contest 4-4. 
 
Jaramillo then worked through the sixth before exiting with six strikeouts on his line. A fielder's choice in the top of the seventh allowed senior Colton Allen to reach base safely, ahead of a walk, a wild pitch, and a sacrifice by redshirt junior Ivan Duarte that plated him and handed the Hogs a 5-4 edge. 
 
Sophomore Carter Poulson recorded an out, and Martinez took over in the bottom of the frame with runners on first and second. A batter was plunked, loading the bases ahead of a wild pitch that allowed TAMIU to tie things up, 5-5.
 
Three scoreless frames followed, sending the squads into extra innings at Jorge Haynes Field.
 
Becker batted a single with two outs in the top of the tenth, and junior Garrett Thompson was walked, putting two runners on for Cervantes. The League City, Texas native then dropped a double into center field, scoring the pair and delivering a 7-5 lead. 
 
TAMIU threatened with a pair of base runners in the bottom half, but Martinez clamped down, inducing a fly out to secure the Blue and Gold victory. 
 
The teams will meet again for a Saturday doubleheader with first pitch slated for 1 p.m. ahead of a 1 p.m. series finale on Sunday at Jorge Haynes Field.
