UTSA Today
After positioning itself into fourth place with a series sweep of Sam Houston State over the weekend, UTSA looks to clinch a spot this weekend in the upcoming Southland Conference Tournament.
The Series
UTSA vs. UTA
The Mavericks lead the all-time series with the Roadrunners by the count of 25-17. UTSA has suffered a series sweep the last two seasons against UTA, with the last Roadrunner series win coming in 1999 when UTSA won two out of three. The Runners are 1-9 against the Mavs under head coach Sherman Corbett.
Last Time Out
5/16 UTSA completes sweep of SHSU, 9-8
SAN ANTONIO - UTSA senior Lucas Stewart and junior Chris Lewis each homered for the second time in as many days and drove in four runs apiece leading UTSA to a series sweep of Sam Houston State with a 9-8 win Sunday afternoon at Roadrunner Field.
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
The top-six teams in the league will advance to the Southland Conference Tournament being held Wednesday-Saturday, May 26-29, in Hammond, La.
Southland Honors
Senior designated hitter Lucas Stewart picked up co-Southland Conference Hitter of the Week honors on May 10 after leading UTSA to a 3-0 sweep of Sam Houston State in the final home weekend. Stewart went 8 -for-14 on the week with two home runs, nine RBI, five runs and three walks.
Going, Going, Gone
Junior Chris Lewis' SLC-leading 15th home run of the year moves the outfielder into a third place tie on UTSA's single-season home runs list. The last Runner to notch double-digit homers was Mark Schramek with 11 in 2002.
Big 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. The last Runner to drive in six in a game was Jeff Juarez with seven against Yale in 1999.
Roll the Pair
With a team fielding clip of .963, the UTSA defense is tied for the league lead in double plays with 45 on the season.
Two-Baggers
Freshman right fielder Michael McKennon is tied for the most doubles in the SLC with 18 on the season. He has hit multiple two-baggers in a game on two occasions. UTSA's single-season record for doubles is 22 by Kent Wallis in 1999.
Mr. Multi
Hitting .329, sophomore shortstop Ryan Crew leads the team with a career-high 20 multi-hit and has the second-most multi-RBI games with 10. He has two four-hit performances and one five-RBI outing on the season.
Nine is Fine
Despite being out-scored 334-305 overall by opponents this season, UTSA has a commanding 47-17 advantage over the opposition in the ninth frame.
Southland Sluggers
UTSA's 52 home runs on the season is currently the third-most in school history and leads the SLC. The school record is 66 set in 1999. Junior outfielder Chris Lewis is pacing the team with 15 followed by Ryan Crew with eight and Lucas Stewart 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 111-111, Corbett needs three wins 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 4-2 record on the bump and a 4.29 ERA, he also boasts the team's third-highest batting average with a .300 clip as the designated hitter with seven home runs.
