SAN ANTONIO -- UTSA baseball's Ian Bailey had a pair of hits and reached base safely in all four trips to the plate to help push his summer league team, the Flying Chanclas de San Antonio to an 8-0 win over the Victoria Generals in the championship of the Texas Collegiate League, on Saturday afternoon.
The Flying Chanclas posted an 8-0 win over the Generals, which featured UTSA infielder Austin Ochoa and righty Reece Easterling, in the championship game. Bailey, a product of San Antonio's Stevens High School, had a pair of singles, adding a walk and getting hit by a pitch in the championship-game performance.
Bailey hit .283 (36-for-127) with 35 runs scored, nine doubles, three triples, five homers and 31 RBI, stealing 5-of-5 bases. He led the team in doubles, triples and homers during the summer.

A 5-foot-11 right-handed hitting outfielder, Bailey was joined on the Flying Chanclas by UTSA teammate Luke Malone, who put together a splendid summer. Malone worked in eight games in relief and logged 46.2 innings, allowing just 10 walks and striking out 35.
