HUNTSVILLE — Sam Houston exploded for eight runs in the first inning, then held off a determined UT-Arlington squad to win the rubber match of the opening-series of Southland Conference play Sunday afternoon.

Sam Houston (2-1 in SLC, 5-11 overall) totaled 15 hits as the Bearkats held on to beat the Mavericks 12-7.

Five Bearkats posted multiple-hit games as Braeden Riley and Taylor Davis each totaled three hits. Chris Andreas, Ryan Mooney and Jared Wondra produced two. Andreas had a solo home run in the second inning.

UT-Arlington (1-2, 5-10) scored its seven runs on 12 hits.

Trailing 12-5 through eight and a half innings, UTA pinch hitter Logan Bawcom hit a two-run home run to pull the Mavericks within five.

Brent Powers then struck out Chad Comer to end the game and picked up the save. Powers allowed only two hits and struck out two in the final three innings.

SHSU starting pitcher Paul Spinn (1-2) was the winning pitcher, going six innings and striking out four UTA batters.

Wondra totaled four RBIs and Andreas brought in three runs.

The Bearkats return to action Friday as they begin a three-game series against Texas State at Don Sanders Stadium.

Alive and kicking: Bearkats still in hunt at SLC baseball tourney
With the possibility of going home early from the Southland Conference Tournament and a chance of their season coming to an abrupt end, the Bearkats needed some quality starting pitching and production from their bats in the worst way.
Like he has done all year long, Sam Houston senior Justin Jackson delivered a lights-out performance on the mound and the offense made the kind of impact the Bearkats have been looking for Thursday morning.
Both elements came together at the exact right time as the Kats stayed alive in the tourney with a 7-1 victory over McNeese State in an elimination game at Bobcat Ballpark.
