LSC- Montgomery kept up its hot start this weekend by taking 2 from Lee College to extend their record to 6-0 on the season. The Mavericks were led by Shane O’Bannon at the dish who went 4-7 this weekend with a triple and also by Jorge Huerta who had a great relief appearance to earn a win.

Texas State opened their season on a high note this weekend by taking 2 of 3 from a tough D2 opponent Stephen F Austin. All three games in the series were tight, 1-run ball games most of the way, but the Bobcats found their way to the top of the heap in this one.

In a tight, early-season series between two the Gulf coast’s elite teams, hits were scarce and errors were prevalent. But the Victoria College Pirates found a way to get it done, earning a series sweep over a Gulf Coast South favorite UT-San Antonio.

The LSC-Montgomery Mavericks are off to a 4-0 start this season after sweeping both ends of a doubleheader with D2 opponent Rice.
