Brown and Lockridge Lead Troy Baseball to Series Win Over Texas State
4/30/2016 6:43:00 PM | Baseball
SAN MARCOS, Texas – Lucas Brown's seven innings of shutout baseball combined with Brandon Lockridge's three run blast gave Troy a 5-3 series clinching victory over Texas State on Saturday at Bobcat Ballpark.
"It feels great to get a road series win on Saturday," Mark Smartt said. "I'm really proud of our team. Lucas Brown was the story today; he was terrific. He gave us seven great innings of shutout baseball. Hopefully we'll get a chance to come back out tomorrow and get a series sweep."
Brown (6-3) pitched seven innings and didn't allow a run. He only gave up three hits, walked three and struck out three. The senior faced 29 batters and picked up 10 groundouts and eight fly outs to go along with three perfect innings.
Troy (25-18, 11-9 Sun Belt) gave Brown an early 2-0 lead in the first inning as Lockridge started the game with a leadoff triple and scored the first run of the game on a Matt Sanders single to right field. Later in the inning, Chase Smartt battled back from an 0-2 count and drew a bases loaded walk to drive in the second Trojan run.
Lockridge added to the Trojans 2-0 lead with his second career home run. He blasted a three run shot to left field in the sixth inning and gave Troy a 5-0 lead.
Texas State (22-22, 10-10 Sun Belt) battled back and scored three runs in the ninth inning on a pinch-hit three-run home run from Dylan Paul.
Corey Childress closed the door on Texas State as he picked up the final three outs of the game. He now has nine saves this season, which moves him into third place on Troy's single-season saves record list.
Matt Sanders, along with Lockridge, had two hits on the day. TJ Binder, Trevor Davis, Cameron Sanders and Smartt had one hit each in the game. Lockridge was the only Trojan to have an extra base hit. He had a triple – his third of the year – and a home run.
The Trojans look to go for their first road sweep this season, as Houston Mabray will toe the rubber on Sunday. First pitch is set for noon.
