TEXAS HOLD 'EM: UTSA Pitching Strands 15 FIU Baserunners in 6-0 Shutout of the Panthers

Story Links

SAN ANTONIO — Aaron Burns and Andre Shewcraft combined to strand 15 FIU baserunners and shutout the Panthers 6-0 at Roadrunner Field on Friday night.

The shutout was the first of the season by UTSA (11-14, 2-5 Conference USA) pitching. FIU (13-16, 2-5 C-USA) was shutout for the first time this season.

UTSA got all the runs it would need in the bottom of the third inning thanks to a two-run, two-out double by Tyler Straub. Ryan Stacy and Bryan Arias, who each singled off FIU right-hander Andres Nunez (2-2) earlier in the inning, came around to score.

The Roadrunners added two runs in the fourth and fifth innings to cap their scoring. C.J. Pickering hit a two-run home run in the fourth. J.T. Gilmore had a two-run double in the fifth.

FIU had plenty of chances against Burns (3-3) putting runners on base in the 5 1/3 innings tossed by the UTSA right-hander. Burns worked out of a one-out bases loaded jam in the third inning. 

Helped by eight walks issued by UTSA pitching, the Panthers had at least two runners on base in six of nine innings. However, FIU couldn't cash in against either Burns or Shewcraft, who worked the final 3 2/3 innings to record his first save.

Zack Soria had nearly half of FIU's seven hits. Soria was 3 for 4 with a double and two singles. Soria is 8 for 10 on the week, which started with his 5 for 6 game against Bethune-Cookman Tuesday night.

The FIU/UTSA series continues Saturday afternoon at Roadrunner Field. FIU right-hander Chris Mourelle takes on UTSA right-hander Karan Patel at 3 p.m. EDT.
