Tarleton State comes up short in loss to South Dakota State – Tarleton State University Athletics
STEPHENVILLE, Texas — Tarleton State was unable to generate enough offense Sunday afternoon, falling 5–1 to South Dakota State at the Tarleton State Baseball Complex to close out the weekend series.
South Dakota State got on the board in the second inning, pushing across the first run of the game. The Jackrabbits then widened the gap in the sixth, stringing together hits to plate two more and take a 3–0 lead.
The Texans finally got on the board in the seventh inning. Cage McCloud worked a leadoff walk before Rayner Heinrich delivered an RBI single through the right side, bringing Tarleton State within two.
Momentum stayed with South Dakota State, however, as the visitors tacked on two more runs in the eighth inning to regain separation and secure the victory.
Brady Englett paced Tarleton State offensively, reaching base twice, while Heinrich drove in the Texans’ lone run. Carson Lorch and McCloud each added hits as Tarleton State finished with five on the day.
Cort Lowry made the start on the mound before Ethan Wendel, Andrew Treto and Karsen Davis combined to provide solid relief. The bullpen limited further damage and kept the Texans within striking distance late.
Tarleton State will look to regroup and return to the win column as the Texans prepare for their upcoming midweek contest against UIW this Tuesday at 2 p.m. at the Tarleton State Baseball Complex.

Pres. Trump travels to South Dakota
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) – The President set to travel to Mount Rushmore to mark America’s 250th anniversary.
Friday, President Donald Trump is taking that celebration to one America’s most iconic sites, Mount Rushmore
The President is traveling to South Dakota for a celebration at Mount Rushmore that will include fireworks, military bands and flyovers – including one by the new Air Force One – which had its maiden flight on Wednesday to North Dakota. The Boeing 747 is a gift from Qatar.
While at Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills near Keystone, South Dakota, President Trump will deliver a keynote address marking the nation’s 250th anniversary.
The sculpture at Mount Rushmore features 60-foot-tall depictions of the heads of four U.S. presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. They were chosen to represent the nation’s foundation, expansion, development, and preservation
President Trump last visited Mount Rushmore for a Fourth of July Celebration in 2020. The event featured the first official fireworks display at the monument in over a decade.
He’s also repeatedly joked that his face should be added to the monument.
