SAN MARCOS, TX — To say Sara Vanderford opened the flood gates — after the infield was tarped for over two hours leading up to Texas State's 8-0 win against UTSA — Tuesday night might just poke meteorologists too much.
Hitting her second home run in as many games and collecting her fifth hit in her last eight plate appearances, Vanderford began a three-run bottom of the second for Texas State by sending a 3-0 pitch over the right-centerfield fence. It was Vanderford's 22nd career home run, which tied the junior third baseman with Rachel Bonetti, Kendall Wiley and Tara Oltmann for seventh on the program's career home run list.
