Lubbock took a seven-run defeat the last time they faced off against Tascosa, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. Lubbock skirted past Tascosa 7-6. This was a revenge game for the Westerners: when they faced off against the Rebels on Friday, they had to take a 12-5 loss.

Ivan McGwier made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up five earned (and one unearned) runs off nine hits. McGwier was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one triple. That triple marked the first that he hit this season.

One of them was Jasiah Ordonez, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. Malakai Fuentes was another, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-2.

Lubbock pushed their record up to 12-6-1 with the win, which was their third straight on the road.
