There's a little 2-out magic for ya 🪄

Martinez gets us going with a 2-out double and Franden follows with an RBI single to get us back to even in the 4th #EatEmUpKats

[Sam Houston Baseball @BearkatsBSB]

A 1-2-3 4th from Aloisio with some Franden flair to end it 🧨

[Sam Houston SportsTalk @SamHoustonST]

Franden’s bat control is amongst the best this program has ever seen.

His ability to hit wherever and control the zone is such a joy to watch.

[Sam Houston Baseball @BearkatsBSB]

Yep, we got a guy there. 👍

Franden turns 2 and puts a quick end to the NMSU 5th.

Aggies have inched closer, but the Kats still lead 8-4 going to the 6th #EatEmUpKats

[Sam Houston Baseball @BearkatsBSB]

A homer the Artemis crew would be proud of 🚀🌕

Ryan👏 Peterson👏

First 9-inning complete game shutout since 2017.

#EatEmUpKats

[Sam Houston Baseball @BearkatsBSB]

What. An. Effort. 🫡

Ryan Peterson strikes out the top 2 hitters in the Cowboy lineup with the sacks juiced to keep the Kats within a run.

It's a new career high of 11 punchouts for the Bearkat righty #EatEmUpKats

[Sam Houston Baseball @BearkatsBSB]

First @ConferenceUSA weekly honor of 2026 goes to @RyanFranden after a big weekend in the series win at McNeese!! #EatEmUpKats
