That’s what I’ll never understand about Romero. One minute, he’s unhittable. The next, he’s getting mashed on.

Same. Kind of been his M.O. the entire time he’s been here. Not sure if it’s mental, he starts tipping pitches, or his mechanics get loose. He’s got a ton of talent, but he’s a frustrating pitcher to follow at times.

Top Offensive Players
Joe Davis | 1x4, R, RBI
Corey Julks | 1x4, RBI

The Cougars were held to just seven hits as Davis and Julks each recorded an RBI in the effort, while Grayson Padgett went 2-for-4.

Pitching Breakdown:
Seth Romero | 7.0 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 14 K
Fred Villarreal | 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

Junior starter Seth Romero fanned nine of his first 12 hitters he faced, including four in the second inning due to one reaching on a passed ball. The West Columbia, Texas native finished the night, striking out a career-high 14 – surpassing his previous high of 13, which happened vs. Grand Canyon last season.

Romero would unfortunately suffer the loss, falling to 3-3 on the year after allowing four earned runs on six hits in 7.0 innings.

Freshman Fred Villarreal pitched the eighth inning and allowed a hit with one strikeout.
