UTPB baseball went into the latter innings of Sunday's third and final game of the series against #5 St. Mary's holding a slim 1-0 lead after scoring the game's only run in the top of the third inning, but the Rattlers  tied the game in the bottom of the eighth and scored the game-winning run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth Sunday afternoon in San Antonio, Texas.

Ozzie Bueno manufactured the Falcons run in the top of the third that put them on top 1-0, reaching first on a lead off bunt for a base hit. He moved to second on a passed ball and ended on third on a single to left by Ty Forney. Neil Madsen was hit by a pitch to load the bases, and Mike Briseno flew out deep enough to center to score Bueno on a sacrifice fly.

St. Mary's evened the score at 1-1 in the top of the eighth as Ivan Sigala's two out single into left scored Derek Moczygemba from second.

The Rattlers ended the game in the bottom of the ninth on pinch hitter Adrian Garcia's base hit to right field that scored Matt Bienek from third for the 2-1 final score.

Travis Wilcox lasted eight strong innings for UTPB on the mound,  giving up a single earned run off of seven hits and a walk while walking six.

Jonathan Perez earned the win for St. Mary's, throwing two scoreless innings in relief after entering to start the top of the eighth.

UTPB stays on the road next weekend, traveling to Austin, Texas, for a three game set against St. Edward's.
