Logan Austin, a junior from Irving, escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth inning Sunday to preserve UT Arlington's 6-5 victory over Stephen F. Austin at Clay Gould Ballpark.
SFA (0-6), which trailed 5-1 through five innings, loaded the bases with one out in the ninth before Austin came on to induce a flyout to left field and a fielder's choice to pick up his first career save.
