UIW-STMU GOES 12 INNINGS - UIW Baseball
Thursday night was the place to be if you’re a fan of collegiate baseball as the University of the Incarnate Word faced off against St. Mary’s University at V.J. Keefe Stadium in the final game of the first day of the 2011 South Central Regional Championships for NCAA Division II.
The Rattlers were the No. 1 seed in the regional tournament and the Cardinals were the No. 6 seed and after shaky starts from both pitchers… nine inning just wasn’t enough as STMU came back to win, 6-5, in a contest that went 12 innings.
“Should we have lost this game? Absolutely not,” Cardinals coach Danny Heep said. “We got guys into scoring positions or on the corners, but then we’d hit a line into a double play and then, in the end, it’s a dribbler that beats us. But that’s just the way this game is.”
