Javelinas fall 9-4 in regular-season finale against Dustdevils

Junior Jacob Rosales plated two runs for TAMUK

LAREDO, Texas- The Texas A&M-Kingsville baseball team fell in their final contest of the regular season, suffering a 9-4 defeat at the hands of Texas A&M-International at Jorge Haynes Field in Lone Star Conference action on Monday.
 
The Javelinas (26-24, 25-23 LSC) split a road series with the Dustdevils (19-27, 18-26 LSC) as senior Luis Martinez (6-4) suffered a loss, while (4-5) Lalo Salinas picked up the win for TAMIU. 
 
At the plate, redshirt junior Ivan Duarte and junior Jacob Rosales each logged multiple hits, while Rosales plated a pair of runs. 
 
TAMUK used a two-out rally in the top of the first to take an early lead, with sophomore Jake Chapman and senior Steven Bonuz logging singles and advancing into scoring position on a wild pitch. Rosales stepped up and cleared the bases with a hot shot into center field that saw a 2-0 Blue and Gold edge. 
 
The Dustdevils then responded with a Joseph Cruz solo home run in the bottom half for a 2-1 score entering the second stanza. TAMIU then equalized in the third using a single to plate a runner who walked and moved up to third on a Javelina miscue. 
 
Things were quiet over the subsequent two frames before a three-run home run by Beto Cervantes in the bottom of the sixth resulted in a 5-2 TAMIU lead. They tacked on one more in the inning before senior Matthew Vasquez entered and stranded runners at every base via a fielder's choice ground ball.  
 
Another Dustdevil run came across in the seventh, and two more scored in the eighth, resulting in a 9-2 score line entering the ninth. 
 
Duarte singled, Bonuz was walked, and redshirt sophomore Hayden Johnson was plunked to load up the bases in the final frame as the Javelinas attempted to mount a comeback. Classmate Jaden Cavazos was then issued a free pass, plating Duarte and inducing a TAMIU pitching change with one out. Following the break, junior Shelby Becker walked, scoring Bonuz before two outs resulted in a 9-4 final score. 
 
This concludes the regular season for Texas A&M-Kingsville, and the Javelinas will now await their seedings for the 2023 Lone Star Conference Baseball Championship tournament, which will begin on Friday, May 5, with a best-of-three opening round series hosted by each of the top-four seeds.
