Note: I saw two players wearing No. 94 in the defensive line drills. The roster lists 94 as Corey Walls and also Kenny Ozowalu. I will clarify who is whom and will update this later. For the moment those two are identified in these photos only by their number.
Others who went through drills included Jon Jones, Daemian Wimberly, Mike Williams Jr., Travon Sylvester, Donal Quaite Jr., Chidera Otutu, Zechariah Robinson, Jaylan Jones, Anthony Santoscoy, Kaian Roberts, Jameian Buxton and Tai Leonard.
The most recognizable was returning starter Owen McCown (13) – the only left-hander of the group.
Brandon Tennison (17) is also back from last fall’s roster.
New to UTSA for this spring are Noah Lugo (10), a redshirt-freshman transfer from Haslet, Texas, and BYU; and Max Gerlich (12) a freshman from Austin Anderson.
The UTSA football program held its annual pro day on Monday. The RACE was filled with scouts from NFL teams to see 13 former UTSA players:
UTSA relief pitcher Meredith Schmitt went the final 4 1/3 innings and allowed one run to earn the win.
Sabrina Wick had UTSA’s first hit of the season with a single in the bottom of the first inning. Wick also scored UTSA’s first run of the season in the bottom of the third.
Katia Reyes scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning after Kalee Rochinski singled and Weber State made an error.
STARTING LINEUP
The Flying Chanclas de San Antonio announced on Friday they signed three players from Incarnate Word for the 2020 Texas Collegiate League season:
SS Grant Smith, Houston, St. Pius
1B Ryan Flores, Corpus Christi, Carroll
IF Lee Thomas, Katy, Cinco Ranch
Smith led Incarnate Word in batting at .339 in 16 games for the abbreviated 2020 season. Thomas was second on the team in batting with a .328 average. Flores batted .270.
The Chanclas are the entry of the San Antonio Missions for this summer’s college baseball season.
The San Antonio Missions utility man’s batting average was .276 on June 13. The next day he started an eight-game hitting streak.
Wednesday night, Spangenberg had three hits and scored three runs in a 7-5 victory over the Nashville Sounds at Wolff Stadium. His current hitting streak extended to four games. He is now hitting .319 with 10 home runs, 4 triples, 24 doubles and 44 RBIs.
Spangenberg is hitting an even .400 over the last 10 games (18-of-45).
Listed as a third baseman, Spangenberg has seen action all over the infield this season and has also done duty as an outfielder.
Spangenberg was part of the Double-A Missions when they were a San Diego Padres farm club and won the Texas League championship in 2013. He saw action in the majors with the Padres in the 2014 through 2018 seasons, appearing in 387 games and batting .258 with 27 home runs.
