ROUND ROCK -- Concordia University-Texas came back from a 4-0 deficit to overtake UTB/TSC and held on for a 6-5 victory in the first game, then cruised to a 8-5 win in the second game of their doubleheader Wednesday at Dell Diamond.

The two teams played at Dell Diamond, home of the Round Rock Express, the Class AAA affiliate of the Houston Astros. The stadium seats 11,000 people.

"We started out both games with a bang, but couldn''t finish," Scorpion head coach Bryan Aughney said. "We're scoring runs early, but we totally get away from it."

UTB/TSC next plays at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi March 9 in the finale of a 15-game stretch of road games.
