BSB: Stephen F. Austin Clips HBU, 1-0

Junior RHP Kyle Gruller strikes out eight



NACOGDOCHES, Texas - Stephen F. Austin's Manny Vasquez hit a solo home run in the second inning that held up for a 1-0 victory over HBU in the Southland Conference series finale Sunday afternoon at Jaycees Field.

Junior third baseman Trent Franson and junior designated hitter Hayden Baker had the only two hits of the game for the Huskies (5-14, 0-6 SLC).

Junior righthander Kyle Gruller (0-2) took the loss, allowing one run on six hits with eight strikeouts and a walk in seven innings. Senior JT Newton tossed a perfect inning in relief.

Vasquez went 2-for-3 with the homer and a double, while Nick Daley went 2-for-4.

Jacob Stobart (3-0) earned the win, holding HBU scoreless on two hits with five strikeouts and a walk in six innings. Jeremy Rodriguez worked the final two innings to notch his fourth save.

Junior first baseman Johnny Gonzales walked with one out in the top of the ninth and senior pinch hitter Brady Batten was hit by a pitch. Baker reached on a fielder's choice to put runners on the corners with two outs, but senior leftfielder Anthony Jones hit a grounder to the shortstop and Baker was forced out at second to end the game.

The Huskies return home to face UTSA Tuesday at 3 p.m. at Husky Field, before hitting the road again to take on Tulane next weekend in New Orleans.
