Last Time Out
4/28 Roadrunners split a pair with Texas A&M-Corpus Christi
SAN ANTONIO - UTSA sophomore Robbie Johns led the way in game two going 4-for-4 with a run and a career-high six RBI for a 15-3 win, helping the Roadrunners to a split of this afternoon's twinbill with the Islanders, who took game one 4-1.
At the Helm
Fourth year head coach Sherman Corbett is the third UTSA skipper in baseball history. With an overall record of 84-85 (.429) entering the 2004 season, Corbett has posted more wins in his first three seasons than either coach before him.
On Deck
UTSA will take a week off and return to action May 14-16 to host Sam Houston State in the final home series of the 2004 season. Games are set for 7, 2, and 1 p.m., Fri.-Sun., respectively, at Wolff Stadium.
Big Bad Johns
On Apr. 28 sophomore catcher Robbie Johns drove in a career-best six runs against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in a 15-3 Roadrunner win. It was the first time a Runner has had a six-RBI game since 1999 when Jeff Juarez drove in seven runs against Yale.
Roll the Pair
With a team fielding clip of .961, the UTSA defense has turned a league-best 44 double plays on the season.
Two-Baggers
Freshman right fielder Michael McKennon is second in the SLC in doubles with 17 on the season. He has hit multiple two-baggers in a game on two occasions. UTSA's single-season record for doubles is 22 hit by Kent Wallis in 1999.
Mr. Multi
Hitting a team-high .330, sophomore shortstop Ryan Crew also leads the team with a career-high 18 multi-hit and is tied for the most multi-RBI games, along with fellow sophomore J.R. Voyles, with 10. He has two four-hit performances and one five-RBI outing on the season.
Nine is Fine
Despite being out-scored 280-259 overall by opponents this season, UTSA has a commanding 46-16 advantage over the opposition in the ninth frame.
Southland Sluggers
UTSA's 43 home runs on the season eclipses last year's mark of 34 and currently leads the SLC. Junior outfielder Chris Lewis is pacing the team with 12 followed by Ryan Crew with seven.
The Century Mark
UTSA skipper Sherman Corbett reached 100 wins on Saturday, Apr. 3, in dramatic fashion with a 16-inning come-from-behind win over SLC opponent Lamar. With a career-record of 107-108, Corbett needs seven wins, with 10 regular season games remaining, to become UTSA's all-time winningest coach.
Extra, Extra
The Roadrunners are a perfect 6-0 in extra-inning games this season, having outscored opponents 8-0 in extra frames. It is the most extra-inning games played in a season by a UTSA squad.
Double Vision
On a day filled with season-high performances including runs (21), hits (20) and RBI (18) in UTSA's 21-6 win over UTPA, the Roadrunners set a new school record for doubles in a game, crushing 11 two-baggers and shattering the previous mark of seven set in 1995 and matched in 2002.
Saving Stewart
Senior utility man Lucas Stewart became UTSA's all-time saves leader notching the ninth of his career in his first mound appearance of 2004 on Sunday, Mar. 7 in a 17-9 win against then No. 7 Notre Dame. He added his third save of the season in his third appearance to give him 11 for his career when he preserved a 5-1 win against SLC foe Southeastern Louisiana on Saturday. Along with a 4-1 record on the bump and a 3.19 ERA, he also boasts the team's third-highest batting average with a .273 clip as the designated hitter with four home runs.
