Game One
 
Haygood threw 7.0 shutout innings in UT Tyler's 3-0 game one victory over the Dustdevils.
 
Haygood struckout six and scattered five hits in her complete game shutout. Graduate student Courtney Plocheck led the Patriot offense with a 3-for-4 effort in an outing in which UT Tyler totaled nine hits as a club.
 
Freshman Makayla Garcia opened up a lead for the Patriots with an RBI single in the top of the second. Garcia's two-out single plated senior JT Smith, who led off the inning with a double to right center.
 
Haygood worked around four singles in her first three innings of work and then stranded a leadoff double in the bottom of the fifth after the Patriot offense struck for two more runs in the top half of the inning. Graduate student Michelle Arias extended a 2-0 advantage with a solo homer, followed shortly after by an RBI single from catcher Audrey Escamilla that plated Nicole Price to make it a 3-0 ball game.
 
Haygood stranded that leadoff double at third in the bottom of the fifth and then put the finishing touches on her shutout with perfect sixth and seventh innings.
 
Garcia joined Plocheck with multiple hits, going 1-for-3 with a run and an RBI.
 
Haygood stayed perfect on the season at 11-0 with the victory.
 
Game Two
 
Armendariz completed the shutout on the day for UT Tyler with another complete game effort for the Patriots in the 2-0 victory.
 
Armendariz allowed just two singles, walked only a single batter and struckout three to cap off the UT Tyler dominance in the circle on Saturday afternoon. Price scored both UT Tyler runs in the game after going 2-for-3 at the plate.
 
Price crossed home after a single for the early UT Tyler lead in the top of the first on an RBI double from Plocheck. She then crossed home for a second time in as many at bats on an RBI single from Escamilla in the top of the third.
 
It was all Armendariz from that point forward, as the Hobbs, N.M. native retired 13 batters in a row after a two-out single in the first. She then escaped her only jam of the ballgame after an error by the Patriot defense, a hit by pitch and the second of two singles on the day for the Dustdevils loaded the bases in the bottom of the sixth.
 
Armendariz fittingly induced one of her 17 groundouts in the game to end the sixth and then sat down the final three Dustdevils of the day in order after a walk to start the seventh.
 
17 of the 21 outs for Armendariz came via groundouts in the ball game. She moves to 11-5 on the year with the victory.
 
UT Tyler notched six hits in the game and drew a walk.
