LAREDO, Texas - Texas A&M International baseball (9-20, 0-3 HC) fell to Rogers State (16-8, 3-0 HC) in the series finale on Saturday.

The Dustdevils got on the board early in the first inning. With two runners on, Matthew Rosales blasted a three-run homer over the left field fence to take a 3-0 lead and score Jorge Napoles and Anthony Handel.

The Hillcats responded with their own two-run home run to cut the lead to 3-2 in the second inning. They took the lead in the top of the third with an explosion of seven runs. Two runs came in on back-to-back RBI singles. Two more came in later on a two RBI single. A RBI double and another RBI single brought in two more runs. The final run of the frame came in on an error by the shortstop to give RSU a 9-3 lead.

The Hillcats would tack on another run in the fourth on a sacrifice fly, and two more runs in the fifth on a two-run home run to push the lead to 12-3.

TAMIU had a chance to cut into the lead in the sixth inning with the bases loaded and two outs, but the threat was ended with a fly out to left field.

RSU scored two runs in seventh with a two RBI single to take a 14-3 advantage. 

With their backs against the wall, the Dustdevils began to make up some ground in the bottom half of the inning, scoring four runs. Andrew Holsey scored on passed ball. A ground out to first scored Handel. With the bases loaded, Matthew Trevino was plunked and brought in Napoles. Obi Obinwa scored Adrian Castillo with a sacrifice fly to right to pull within 14-7.

The Hillcats stifled the comeback with four more runs in the top of the eighth. A run scored on a RBI single, with two runs coming in on a two RBI triple. The final run came in on a RBI single up the middle, giving RSU the 18-7 victory.
