University lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Connally, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Tuesday's match. Everything went the University Trojans' way against the Connally Cadets on Tuesday as the University Trojans made off with a 17-7 victory. The result was nothing new for the Trojans, who have now won six games by ten runs or more so far this season.

Asa Sutton made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Sutton was also big at the plate, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3. University is 6-1 when Sutton posts two or more runs, but 3-4 otherwise.

In other batting news, University got a big performance out of Carlos Perez, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-5. Perez is becoming a predictor of University's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 6-1 (and 3-4 when he doesn't). Brandon Wiese was another key player, going 3-for-4 with two RBI and one double.

University always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .541. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .517 or higher in five consecutive contests.

University is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.9 runs on average over those games. Connally dropped their record down to 4-8 with the defeat, which was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: University beat Connally by a score of 7-4 later that day.
