STEPHENVILLE – Despite a two homerun, five RBI performance by Jeremy Miller, No. 27 Tarleton State took a 12-6 victory over The University of Texas of the Permian Basin, completing the three-game sweep. 

 

Miller was 2-for-4 with two runs scored while Chandler Goode, Andy Quiring, Travis Wilcox and Brantley Miller each hit doubles in the game. As a team, UTPB pounded out 10 hits but three errors led to three unearned runs for the Texans. 

 

For the first time in the series, the Falcons jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning thanks to Miller's first round-tripper of the game. Goode led off the game with a walk and would later steal second before Miller's shot to left field. 

 

The Texans cut the lead in half in the bottom half of the first when Junior Dishmey-Perez hit a solo homer to left center. 

 

UTPB added to its lead in the third with two more runs thanks to another two-run blast by Miller, driving in Andy Quiring, who led off the frame with a single to left. 

 

Tarleton State would take the lead for good in the bottom of the fourth when Landon McCall hit a grand slam which sparked a six-run inning. His homer was part of a five-hit frame that proved to be enough for the Texans, who improved to 24-7 on the year. 

 

The Falcons did manage to score a run in the sixth and another in the eighth, but each time UTPB scored, Tarleton State answered with a run of its own, including two in the seventh. 

 

UTPB fell to 14-18 on the year and will return home to take on St. Mary's for a three-game series starting Friday at 1 p.m. on Roden Field.
