Louisiana Tech has won two consecutive WAC Tournament games for the first time in team history.
The Bulldogs defeated New Mexico State for the first time this season.
Senior first baseman Alex Williams and sophomore shortstop Ryan Gebhardt have started all 53 games for the Bulldogs while Gebhardt has played every inning of every game.
Williams has started 120 consecutive games dating back to last season.
With his start, Williams has played in his 219th career game (started 215), third most by any Tech player in the program’s history.
For the second consecutive game, Kyle Arnsberg has reached base safely to begin the bottom of the first for the Bulldogs.
The leadoff single in the third by Williams extended his hitting streak to 17 games and on-base streak to 23 games.
With the single, Williams has compiled 247 hits in his career, tying Chris Loy for second all-time in Tech history.
His walk was the 86th of his career, tying him for 10th place on the all-time Tech list.
Williams scored his 140th career run in the third inning, taking sole possession of fourth place in Tech history.
With his double in the third inning, Taylor Terrasas has reached base safely in 14 consecutive games.
The Bulldogs hit three doubles in the third inning to take a 5-4 lead going into the middle innings.
The three doubles in an inning was the first time Tech did so since Feb. 22 at UALR.
Kyle Arnsberg recorded a career high three hits while Terrasas ties career high with five RBI.
The game marks the second consecutive game the Bulldogs record 16+ hits, the first time the Bulldogs have done so this season.
