They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 7-5 victory over the Alvin Yellowjackets. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Longhorns have posted since March 15th.

Juelz Martinez made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with two runs and one triple. He is becoming a predictor of Dobie's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 7-11 when he doesn't).
Martinez wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Eliseo Molina, who scored a run while going 1-for-4.
Dobie pushed their record up to 14-11 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.7 runs over those games. As for Alvin, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-13 record this season.
Dobie will have a chance to go back-to-back against Alvin: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
