TYLER - The UT Tyler softball team has played in the super regionals 3 times before. And the Patriots were a perfect 6-0 in those games.
But on Friday, they're unbeaten streak came to a screetching halt.
The Patriots opened up their super regional series with Linfield and after a few scoreless innings, the Wildcats slowly put a few runs on the board. They scored once after the catcher was ruled to be blocking the plate, once on a fielder's choice, and once on a single.
And that would turn out to be all they needed. UT Tyler only got 4 hits and couldn't push any runs across the plate as they lost game 1 of the series 3-0.
Game 2 will be Saturday at 1:00 PM and, if it's needed, a decisive game 3 would follow at approximately 3:30 PM.
