RICHARDSON, TX (04.09.16) - Thanks to a pair of strong pitching performances and six total home runs, the UT Dallas baseball team earned a doubleheader sweep of Ozarks Saturday afternoon to close out a three-game weekend American Southwest Conference series with the Eagles.

Senior Brandon Lee tossed a two-hitter and the Comets belted four home runs in a 7-0 win to open Saturday's twin bill while junior Jonathan May gave up just three hits and was the beneficiary of two long balls, including a walk-off grand slam, as UTD run-ruled the Eagles, 10-0, in the series finale.

Riding a season-high four-game winning streak, the Comets (now 16-12, 7-8 ASC) wrapped up their weekend sweep of Ozarks with Saturday's two victories after earning a 5-1 win over the Eagles in Friday's opener.
