San Antonio: Five UTSA pitchers combined on a four-hit shutout as the Roadrunners closed out a sweep of Rice with a 7-0 win on a steamy Saturday afternoon at Roadrunner Field.

How it Happened: UTSA scored single runs in each of the first four innings while holding Rice hitless until Landon West led off the fifth with a double. The Roadrunners added a pair in the sixth and one in the seventh. The Owls did not have another runner in scoring position until the seventh, when singles by West and Michael Zito put two aboard with two outs.

Up Next: The Owls and Roadrunners will meet again on Tuesday in the opening round of the 2025 AAC Baseball Championship presented by Regions. The top-seeded Roadrunners and the eighth seeded Owls will meet in the second game of the day, which will start 47 minutes after the completion of the opening game of the series.
