Comets Win Final ASC Season Series
RICHARDSON, TX - The UTD baseball team will miss out on its first American Southwest Conference post-season tournament, but it didn't stop the Comets (22-16, 5-11) from taking out their frustrations on visiting East Texas Baptist in the first game of the final three-game weekend series Friday, winning the opener 16-2. UTD had to rally, however, in the first game of a Saturday doubleheader to take a 9-8 win. The Comets then rallied again in the series finale, forcing extra innings, but fell 14-8 in 11 innings. Junior Jared Smith had three home runs over the weekend while seniors Chase Whitehead and Michael Cargile each had individual big games in their final games with the team. STORY

Pitching Spurs Optimism About Season
The 2008 season will be a rebuilding year for the UTD baseball team, which lost all but one position player to graduation after the successful 2007 season. But a strong pitching staff, anchored by returner Mark Cox (pictured) has the Comets optimistic about what they may be able to accomplish this season. UTD has qualified for the American Southwest Conference Championship Tournament each of the last five years, and advanced to the NCAA Division III West Regionals last season. STORY
