In a closely fought baseball game, Texas Wesleyan emerged victorious over Southwestern Assemblies of God University with a score of 2-0. The game, which took place at Wesleyan Field, saw Texas Wesleyan take an early lead in the third inning thanks to a fielder's choice by
Tomas Sanchez. They added another run in the sixth inning as Grayson Barrett reached first base on an error by the SAGU second baseman, allowing Chasten Chon to score.
Defensively, the game was a standout performance for Texas Wesleyan. Pitcher
Morgan McCloud, now 4-0 for the season, was in dominant form, allowing only six hits and no runs in six innings pitched. His teammates supported him, who made only one error compared to SAGU's two and made several crucial plays to prevent SAGU from getting on the scoreboard.
