ODESSA, Texas - It was a record-setting performance by the University of Texas Permian Basin baseball team on Tuesday against Sul Ross State at Roden Field. The Falcons beat the Lobos, 34-2, for their ninth straight win, the longest in program history set in 2009.
 
The Falcons shattered their previous highwater mark for most runs in a game, 24, and came within two of tying the Lone Star Conference run record. The team had 26 hits, a school record, and a record with 11 doubles. Scoring five times each, Mason Hamlin and Ethan Flodstrom tied Jack Miller's single-game record, set in 2016 against Sul Ross State.
 
The Lobos put up a run in the top of the first before the Falcons responded in their half of the inning. Flodstrom scored a pair on a double before scoring on a ground ball by Gibrian Pena.
 
Two walks and a single loaded the bases in the second for UTPB. They'd score on a wild pitch and a ground ball for the 5-1 lead. Hamlin and Flodstrom followed with back-to-back doubles to score two more. Two batters later, Pena crushed a two-run home run for the eight-run lead. A single and three walks plated another run, and the lead was 10-1.
 
They added to the lead in the third on a sacrifice fly by Caleb Boswell before Payton Matthews' grand slam made it 15-1. The offense continued in the fourth. Flodstrom singled home a run before Austin Hall doubled in a pair. Boswell hit a three-run home run to make it 21-1. Later in the inning singles by Hamlin and Flodstrom would score two more.
 
Jack Haggerty's hit by pitch broke the school record for runs in the game as part of a nine-run fifth to make it 32-1. Brandon Glowacki capped the day with a two-run double in the sixth before the Lobos scored in the top of the seventh.
 
Graeme Rios earned the win, allowing one run over three innings. Nolan LaChappa, Jaden Wilcox, and Drew Wenske allowed just one run on one hit in relief.
 
The Falcons hit the road this weekend to face UT Tyler in a four-game series starting Friday, April 12.
