Bobcats Edge Cajuns 2-1 In Pitcher’s Duel To Even Series

4/23/2016 10:01:00 PM | Baseball

LAFAYETTE, La. – Texas State starter Cory Geisler outdueled sophomore Wyatt Marks on Saturday night as the 20th-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns baseball team dropped a tight 2-1 decision to the Bobcats to even the series at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field.
 
"Wyatt threw a great ballgame and gave us a chance to win, just our at-bats didn't get better as the game wore on," head coach Tony Robichaux said. "You have to give credit to Geisler. We knew these guys weren't going to go away. We can't let this carry over into tomorrow. We've got to flush it and come back out to work tomorrow."
 
With the loss, the Cajuns fall to 26-13 overall and 11-6 in league play. The loss is only the third of the season for the Ragin' Cajuns at The Tigue.
 
Geisler (4-1) limited Louisiana to one unearned run on four hits in a complete game effort to pick up his fourth win of the season. The left-hander struck out a career-best eight and walked two in the outing.
 
Marks (3-5), despite being handed his fifth loss of the year, also had a strong outing posting his fifth quality start of the season in 6.1 innings of work. The sophomore held Texas State (28-18, 10-7 Sun Belt) to two runs on five hits with two walks and three strikeouts. Marks face the minimum through the first four innings and retired the first nine batters that he faced.
 
Jevin Huval tossed 2.2 scoreless innings in relief with a walk and two strikeouts.
 
Texas State outhit the Ragin' Cajuns 6-4 with Luke Sherley recording the only multi-hit effort in the contest going 2-for-4 with an RBI.
 
Louisiana threated in the bottom of the first as Brian Mills reached third with one out after doubling to right to lead off the inning and moving up 90 feet on a ground ball to second by Brenn Conrad. In the next at bat, Stefan Trosclair hit a ball sharply to third base that was fielded by Jaylen Hubbard to catch Mills off of third.
 
The Bobcats broke a scoreless tie in the top of the fifth on a two-out RBI single up the middle by Sherley to give Texas State a 1-0 advantage.
 
The Ragin' Cajuns pulled even in the bottom half of the frame as Joe Robbins scored on an Ishmael Edwards sacrifice fly to right field. Robbins reached on a two-base throwing error by Geisler and then moved to third on a Steven Sensley single.
 
In the top of the seventh, the Bobcats loaded the bases with one out on a single to center by Sherley. In the next at bat, Jacob Almendarez drew a walk from Huval to put Texas State back in front 2-1.
 
The Cajuns would put a runner on third in three of the final four innings, but could not come up with an equalizing run as Edwards struck out swinging with Kyle Clement on third base to end the contest.
 
Louisiana and Texas State meet in the rubber match tomorrow at 1 p.m. at The Tigue. The Cajuns will send freshman right-hander Nick Lee (6-1, 2.96 ERA) to the mound in the series finale. The Bobcats have yet to name a starter for the contest.
