Box Score AUSTIN, Texas – Three Hilltopper errors led to two unearned runs as St. Edward's dropped the rubber match against Newman, 2-0, Saturday afternoon at Lucian-Hamilton Field. St. Edward's (2-4, 2-3 HC) threatened to score in the first inning when AJ Hermanson (Georgetown, Texas/Georgetown HS) led off with a bunt single.

He moved to third base after a sacrifice and a groundout. Daniel Homann (The Woodlands, Texas/The Woodlands HS) walked to place runners at first and third, however, Homann was caught stealing on an unsuccessful double steal. Hilltopper starting pitcher Jeff Rohrbach (Houston, Texas/Bellaire HS) started strong, allowing just one hit through the first three innings. In the fourth inning, St. Edward's made two errors allowing two Newman (2-4, 2-4 HC) baserunners to score.
