FRISCO, TX (02.15.15) - The UT Dallas baseball team wrapped up its three-game weekend at the Dr. Pepper Ballpark with a 9-2 loss to Hendrix Sunday afternoon.

The Comets (now 2-5) fell behind early, giving up four runs in the 1st and two more in the 2nd, and could not recover.

Hendrix (now 3-1) opened the scoring with two-run singles by both Wyatt Hogan and Jake Wiegland as the Warriors collected four 1st-inning hits off of UTD starter Jake Hanson. Hendrix added two runs in the 2nd on an RBI ground out and another Hogan RBI single.

UTD plated a pair of runs in the 8th on a sacrifice fly by Brandon George, scoring Jimmy Norris, followed quickly by a solo home run by Nolan Smith, his first of the year. However, the Warriors answered with two runs in the 8th on a Drew Judson single followed by a UTD error and their final run on a Matt Simmons sacrifice fly.

Hanson (0-1) was handed the loss, giving up three earned runs on 11 hits in 5.0 innings of work. Reliever Brandon Lee allowed one earned run on three hits over a 3.0-inning outing. The Comets finished with eight hits off of four Hendrix pitchers with Haden Johnson going 2-for-4 with a 9th-inning double.
