HOT-HITTING UTSA DEALS JACKS LOSS IN OPENER
2/13/2026 10:11:00 PM | Baseball
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — UTSA broke the game open with a seven-run second inning and ended the day with four home runs in defeating South Dakota State, 17-4, in the college baseball opener for both teams Friday at Roadrunner Field.
An NCAA Super Regional qualifier a year ago, UTSA grabbed a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the first inning on a two-out, two-run single by Christian Hallmark, then sent 11 men to the plate in the next frame. The Roadrunners tallied eight of their 19 hits in the second inning, starting with a leadoff home run by Josh Arquette. Drew Detlefsen added a two-run double to help chase SDSU starter Ty Madison and three other players delivered run-scoring hits before sacrifice fly by Arquette capped the big inning.
The Roadrunners upped their lead to 12-1 with a three-run home run by Andrew Stucky in the home half of the third inning and also received a pinch-hit two-run shot by Diego Diaz in the sixth inning and a solo blast from Broc Parmer in the seventh.
SDSU got off to a promising start as Owen Siegert and Nolan Grawe opened the game with back-to-back singles and Luke Luskey drew a walk to load the bases. Siegert scored the first run of the game on a groundout off the bat of Dayton Franke, but the Jackrabbits couldn't cash in further in the frame despite UTSA having to make an emergency call to the bullpen after starting pitcher Robert Orloski was injured after recording only two outs..
UTSA reliever Mike DeBattista kept the Jackrabbits off the scoreboard over the next three innings with a pair of strikeouts.
The Jackrabbits put a run on the board in the sixth inning on a sacrifice fly by Brady Brown and scored twice in the seventh on an RBI single by Luskey and a run-scoring groundout by newcomer Travis Finney.
Eight of the nine Jackrabbit hits came from the top three hitters in their starting lineup. Luskey and Grawe were each 3-for-4 while Siegert was 2-for-4. Finney notched the final hit for SDSU.
Caden Miller led the UTSA offense with three hits while six other Roadrunners collected two hits each.
Each team used five pitchers in the game. Jacob Sjuts tossed a pair of scoreless innings to lead the Jackrabbits on the mound in his SDSU debut.
UP NEXT
Due to the threat of rain in the forecast for early in the day on Saturday, Game 2 of the series has been pushed back to a 6 p.m. start. As a result of the schedule change, there will be no video streaming available.
