The biggest crowd of the season was on hand to support the UTB/TSC Scorpions in a doubleheader sweep over Jarvis Christian College, 7-4 and 10-0, Friday, April 4, in Red River Athletic Conference South Zone games at Scorpion Field.

UTB/TSC and JCC complete their three-game series with a single game at 1 p.m. Saturday at Scorpion Field.

The Scorpions improved to 17-27 for the season and 4-4 in RRAC South Zone play. Jarvis Christian dropped to 8-20-1 and 2-6. Of the 12 conference games the Scorpions play this year, this three-game series is the only one to be played at Scorpion Field.
