Owls Ride Fast Start to Down Islanders
4/10/2024 9:55:00 PM | Baseball
UAB opens weekend series on Friday at 6:35
Reckling Park: Jack Riedel's two-run homer in the bottom of the first highlighted a three-run first for the Owls and seven Rice pitchers made the lead hold up as the Owls defeated Texas A&M Corpus Christi 5-3 on Wednesday night.
The Details: After Karl Ralamb worked a scoreless opening frame in his first career start, Rice jumped on Islanders' starter Samuel Feltz for three runs in the bottom of the first. Jacob Devenny extended his hitting streak to a career-high six games with a leadoff double and one out later Treyton Rank brought him home with a single to right. Jack Riedel followed with an opposite-field homer to left, his 10th of the season. Rank provided the eventual winning runs two innings later with a double inside the third base bag, scoring Devenny and Ben Dukes. Mark Perkins worked 3.1 innings and struck out a career-high five to earn his first win of the year while Reed Gallant needed just two pitches to record the game's final out and earn his second career save.
Up Next: Rice wraps up its eight-game homestand with a three-game series against UAB during Rice's annual Blue-Gray Weekend. The series opens at 6:30 on Friday, followed by games at 2 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. on Sunday.

- Riedel is the third Owl in the last three seasons to reach double figures in home runs, connecting on his 131st at-bat of the season. Ben Royo hit his 10th in his 134th at-bat last season (finished with 13) while Austin Bullman did it on his 218th and final at-bat as an Owl at FIU on 5/21/22. The last Owl to reach double figures in fewer than 131 at-bats was Andrew Dunlap who hit his 10th of the year on his 102nd at-bat of the 2019 season (4/5 vs. FIU).
- Devenny is hitting .348 (8x23) during his streak and has scored a run in five of the last six games.
- Rank has driven in six runs in the first five games of the homestand.
- Dukes extended his career-best hitting streak to six games with a bunt single in the third and added a second single in the fifth…. He is hitting .435 (10x23) over the last six games.
- Gallant's save was the second of his career and his first since 3/12/21 when he combined with Blake Brogdon to defeat Northern Illinois 6-2 at Reckling Park.
