Generals Rally in Wild Ninth for 3-2 Victory
June 14, 2023 – The Generals traveled down to Smokey Joe Williams Field in Seguin where they took on the River Monsters. Coming into the night on a two game winning streak, the Generals were looking to find success at the plate and did just that with the game on the line.
UTSA pitcher Zach Royse got the nod for the Generals with a strong showing, going five innings with four strikeouts and allowing four hits, two walks, and one earned run. Relieving Royse was Murray State College pitcher Ryan Dugas. Dugas went two innings throwing two strikeouts, allowing four hits, two walks, and one earned run. Galveston College pitcher RJ Patrick and Angelina College pitcher Taylor Seay both threw one inning with Seay finishing the game for the save.
Up until the fifth, it was a scoreless game when Seguin added one run to the scoreboard and another in the sixth. The Generals would go into the ninth inning down two runs needing to find momentum. They did just that when they scored three go-ahead runs.
Two back-to-back singles by Western Oklahoma State College CF Cristopher Munoz and RF Derek Cerda brought life back to the team with no outs in the inning. Weatherford College C Kanon Sundgren came up clutch after an RBI triple tied the game. The damage wouldn’t stop there after pitch hitter Dayton Tockey singled giving the Generals the lead. After the three runs came across the plate, the General’s offense relied on the defense and pitching staff to finish the night off which led to the win for a third straight time.
The Generals now head back to Victoria where it will hope to continue its winning ways Thursday night at Riverside Park where it is half price beer all night long in addition to a free ticket night presented by Victoria College with plenty of great giveaways.
