June 21, 2023 - Texas Collegiate League (TCL)
Victoria Generals News Release


It was another great night of baseball for the Generals as the offense continued to find success winning tonight against the Cane Cutters. With the win tonight, the Generals now lead the season series 3-2 against the Cane Cutters but remain in third place in the TCL standings with a record of 10-8.

On the mound tonight for Victoria was UT-Arlington RHP Jack Hagan who earned the win tonight. Hagan went 5.1 innings throwing four strikeouts, allowing seven hits and no earned runs. Panola College RHP Sam Simmons finished the night for the Generals pitching two innings, throwing three strikeouts and allowing only one earned run.

Victoria's offense once again struck first in the game scoring one run in the first, third and fourth inning before Acadiana fired back scoring three runs of its own in the fifth inning. The Generals would then add six runs to the scoreboard in the bottom of the seventh inning, extending the lead to 9-3.

To start the evening for the Generals' offense was New Mexico 1B Reed Spenrath who had an RBI groundout scoring Eastern Oklahoma State 2B Drake Kerr. In the third inning, UT Arlington DH Tyce Armstrong would hit a RBI sacrifice fly, scoring Kerr. Later in the ballgame, Wharton Junior College C Levi Castilleja would hit an RBI double, scoring Western Oklahoma State RF Derec Cerda.

The Generals would generate more runs beginning with Western OK State CF Cristopher Munoz who singled to start the seventh inning. Murray State Junior College PH Gage Gilchrist would then come into the game hitting an RBI single, scoring Armstrong. After Gilchrist, Castilleja would join the fun by hitting a 2-run RBI double, scoring Munoz and UT Rio Grande Valley PH Kade York. Eventually, Armstrong would earn another at bat hitting a RBI single.

Victoria would not look back, recording 14 total hits throughout the game but defensively would have three errors. Looking ahead, the Generals have a chance to move up in the TCL standings with a victory tomorrow night. Currently, the Generals are 0.5 games behind the Rougarou and Bombers and are hoping to change that soon.

The Generals will be back in action tomorrow night against the Bombers with first pitch beginning at 7:05 pm at Riverside Stadium.
