South Texas Showdown Concludes as Baseball Heads to UTRGV

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – The South Texas Showdown presented by NavyArmy Community Credit Union concludes Tuesday when Texas A&M-Corpus Christi baseball travels to UTRGV for a 7 p.m. first pitch against the rival Vaqueros.
 
The Islanders have already clinched the inaugural season of the South Texas Showdown, leading the series 36-20.
 
On the diamond, the Islanders and Vaqueros have already clashed four times this season with the Blue and Green taking three of the four meetings. The Islanders swept the Vaqueros in a three-game series earlier this season in Edinburg.
 
Tuesday's trip to the Valley marks the final midweek game for the Islanders as well as the final non-conference game of the season. Following the midweek trip to UTRGV, the Islanders head to Southland-leading McNeese for a three-game series in Lake Charles, La., this week.
 
 Corpus Christi has earned victories in each of its last six trips to UTRGV, including the series sweep earlier this season.
 
The Islanders enter the week after winning Sunday's finale against Central Arkansas. The Blue and Green hit .333 as a team in the series with the Bears as five different Islanders recorded four hits on the weekend.
 
Tuesday's game will be available to watch on Spectrum Sports (323) and on YouTube.
