Baseball

The Mavericks (42-14) saw their season come to an end on Saturday at the NCAA South Central Regional in Tyler, Texas. The Mavericks went 1-2 at the tournament, hosted by fifth-ranked and second-seeded UT Tyler.
The nation's 13^th-ranked Mavs, who were seeded third, defeated MSU Denver by a 5-2 score in the opening game of the tournament on Thursday before UT Tyler also knocked off the Roadrunners later that evening.
That set up a best-of-three series between the Mavs and Patriots, which the Patriots were able to win by 10-4 and 14-4 margins.
The Friday night game did not begin until 9:10 p.m. local time due to lightning delays on Friday night and went into Saturday morning after another lightning delay in the bottom of the second inning.
The second game was then played on Saturday afternoon.
Ethan Nunez and Kennedy Hara both recorded three hits and had RBI singles in the win over MSU Denver. Cameron Cartwright also hit a RBI double in the game as Cayden Clark picked up the win after throwing two innings of scoreless relief.
Paul Schoenfeld had three hits in the first of two games against UT Tyler while Cartwright hit a 3-run home run to highlight the Mavs' efforts in the second game against the Patriots.
Cartwright finished the season with a team-leading .468 batting average and had 16 doubles, 21 home runs and 81 RBIs.
