Box Score
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – Chicago State baseball continued its season-opening series here Saturday, but dropped an 8-6 decision to host Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at Chapman Field.
 
The home team started the scoring in the first with a 2-0 lead in which Zacarias Hardy hit an RBI single and Zach Gibson later crossed home plate on a balk from CSU starting pitcher Justin Wyant (Marion, Iowa/Linn-Mar).
 
In the second inning, the Cougars managed to even the score at 2-2 after bringing a pair of runs past the plate. Senior David Wright (Desoto, Texas/Desoto) lined an RBI single that scored junior Sanford Hunt (Chicago, Ill./Kenwood), who led off with a double, from third base. After stealing second base, Wright later scored on freshman Cody Grosse (Joliet, Ill./West)'s run-scoring single through the left side. 
 
The Islanders' offense kicked into high gear after scoring two runs in the fourth, fifth and seventh innings to take back the lead at 8-2. The Green and White then tallied four runs in the eighth inning, highlighted by an RBI double from senior Andy Gertonson (Crystal Lake Ill./Central), to pull within 8-6, but TAMU-CC held on in the final inning for the win.
 
Hunt led CSU (1-1) at the plate by hitting 3-for-5, while Freund went 2-for-4 and Gertonson finished 2-of-5 on the offensive end. Wyant allowed six runs on nine hits in five innings thrown to go along with recording six strikeouts.
 
The Islanders (1-1) were led by Cody Clarke's 3-of-4 effort with a home run and three RBI. Devin Skapura (1-0) earned the win for TAMU-CC despite allowing two runs on six hits in seven innings of work while striking out six and walking three batters.
