BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- With the winning run at second base and Southern down to its final out, Texas Southern sophomore Robert Pearson froze Caleb Hatcher for strike three and bounced off the mound pumping his fists.That completed a doubleheader sweep of the Jaguars on Saturday at Lee-Hines Field in which TSU starting pitchers Pearson and Felix Gomez led the way.
In the first game, Gomez threw six shutout innings before leaving with one out in the seventh, settling for a no-decision as TSU took a wild 9-7 victory behind Marquis Curry’s eighth-inning grand slam.
In the second, Pearson outlasted Southern junior Jose De Leon for a 2-1 win.
“They really shut us down,” Southern coach Roger Cador said of Gomez and Pearson, who gave up only two runs between them. “The only runs we were really able to mount came when they went to the bullpen.”
