Alex Rivera threw a seven-inning shutout gem allowing just three hits along the way as UT Permian Basin split a double header with Cameron on Saturday.

Game one started off right for the Falcons (6-10) when Tylor Frailey, the second batter of the game, launched a solo home run for the early lead.  The lead would be short lived as the Aggies (9-11) would strike for six runs in the second inning.  The Falcons would chip away with a pair of runs in the third inning including an RBI-double by Peyton Koopman to cut the lead to three.  After the Falcons added a run on a passed ball, the Aggies would score three in the fifth and six in the sixth for the 17-3 final.

After playing 17 innings last night and forced to throw five pitchers in the first half of the double header, Alex Rivera saved the bullpen with a complete game shutout in dominating fashion.  Neither team could get much offense going in the early innings but it would be the Falcons who broke through in the fourth.  A pair of singles and a walk loaded the bases and Tony Oslovar worked a walk to give the Falcons the 1-0 lead.  Rivera kept the Aggie bats quiet until the offense gave him a pair of insurance runs in the sixth.  Alex Wixson would lead off the inning with a single and come around to score on an Oslovar double.  The next batter, Jonathan Bermudez drove him in with a single of his own to give the Falcons a 3-0 lead.  The Aggies would threaten in their half of the inning but would end up stranding two runners.  The Falcons would strand a runner at third in the top of the seventh before Rivera would finish the game for the 3-0 final.  

Koopman led the Falcon offense in the first game with three hits and an RBI.  Frailey scored another run in addition to his home run while Andrew Donovan added a pair of hits.  Frailey added two more hits in the second game, while Bermudez and Skyler Palermo also added a pair of hits.  Rivera went all seven innings, striking out eight and allowing just three hits and walking three.  

The teams wrap-up their series tomorrow at 1 p.m. in Lawton before the Falcons return home for their final series before conference play.
