Alexander dropped their record down to 18-8 on Tuesday, which also ended the team's eight-game streak of wins at home. They fell 7-2 to the United Longhorns. The Bulldogs were not able to make up for their defeat to the Longhorns from their previous meeting back in April of 2024.
As for United, the win was the fourth in a row for them, bringing their record up to 18-10. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games.
For United's part, Alonso Barbarena spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on four hits. Barbarena has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in six consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Hector Cadena was excellent, going 2-for-3 with two runs, two doubles, and one RBI. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was RJ Pina, who went 3-for-4 with one stolen base and one RBI.
