Tiemann Leads Kats to Series Win
The Sam Houston State Bearkats were led by the play of Brian Tiemann against conference rival LSC Kingwood. Brian finished the weekend 6-12 with a 3B and a HR to go with his nearly flawless performance at shortstop. The Kats won Game 1 on a 1-hitter by Hunter Pirtle and hung on to win Game 2 in extra innings after a furious late inning rally from Kingwood. A well played Game 3 by both teams went to Kingwood 4-3 on the strength of a complete game by Kingwood’s Jordan Coaliron.
