Box Score 2 SAN MARCOS, Texas -- Carson McGregory had three hits, including a double, and scored two runs but the Bulldogs dropped a 8-3 decision to Texas State in the first game of a doubleheader Sunday. The Bulldogs were shut out 10-0 in Sunday's second game.
Game one was a makeup of Saturday's scheduled contest which was postponed due to rain.
This was the first three-hit game as a Bulldog for McGregory.
The Bulldogs, trailing 2-0 after one inning, got on the board in the second after McGregory's leadoff double. He moved to third on a passed ball and scored when Betancourt grounded out to second.
The Bobcats added a run in the fifth for a 3-1 lead and exploded for five runs in the seventh to take command at 8-1.
In the Bulldogs' ninth, Zeth Malcom laced a one-out single up the middle. McGregory singled through the right side and Brandon Whitaker, running for Malcom, advanced to second.
Betancourt followed up with a double down the rightfield line to score Whitaker and move McGregory to third.
Pierre Brewton then reached first on a throwing error by the Texas State third baseman, allowing McGregory to score. However, Brewton and Betancourt were left stranded on the bases as the inning ended.
Blaine Milam fell to 2-2 as he went six innings, giving up seven hits and five earned runs.
