C-USA, BIG XII Baseball; RICE vs Texas A&M. RICE wins 2-0.

A Midweek Big12, C-USA Showdown

    It was another good day for college midweek baseball at Reckling Park, this time against Big12 Conference representative, Texas A&M. Rice F, Rh John Simms for Rice and So, Lh Brandon Parrent for A&M were the starters. After having a bad first outing against Stanford to start the season, today Rice’s Simms found what was working and stuck to it. Keeping his speed up around 87-95 and going 7 2/3 innings, which is his longest outing of year. He gave (#5) (24-8) A&M all they could handle. Trying to avenge an earlier season loss to (#22) (23-13) Rice. A&M got only 4 hits and left 3 on base. A season high of 4,785 witnessed a stellar pitching duel that lasted until the eighth inning when Rice’s Perrott scored on RBI single to left field by Keenan Cook. Rice scored earlier on an unearned run. That was started by a throwing error by A&M’s SS, Kenny Jackson. Allowing Michael Ratterree to advance to second base, then in successive plays, a ground out to short, advance to third, a ground out to short again allows Ratterree to score.
