College Baseball: Musings from the Bobcats’ 17-2 win Tuesday night

  • Texas State looked strong Tuesday night, posting a 17-2 win against Houston Baptist. The Bobcats pounded out 18 hits, eight of which went for extra bases in the rout of the Huskies.
  • Laurn Randell continued a strong senior season with a 2-for-5 performance at the plate, launching his fourth home run of the season (a three-run shot in the fifth) and knocking in four runs.
  • Jeff McVaney has settled into the role as designated hitter well, raising his average several points with three hits against HBU. McVaney slapped two doubles and also scored a pair of runs.
  • Mitchell Pitts is showing he has what it takes to be a solid starter, posting his second win in as many appearances. Pitts tossed five scoreless innings while striking out two.
  • Travis Ballew is coming into his own on the mound for the Bobcats, as he’s had two quality outings in back-to-back games. Ballew didn’t allow a run Sunday afternoon and then struck out four in two innings Tuesday night.
  • It also should be mentioned Texas State’s four pitchers (Pitts, Ballew, Covey Morrow and Garret Carruth) didn’t walk a batter.
