There is a three-way tie for first place in the 2026 Lone Star Conference baseball standings at 22-8: No. 18 St. Mary’s, new league member UT Dallas and No. 20 UT Tyler.
 
Last weekend, StMU took a road series from St. Edwards, UT Tyler swept Cameron on the road and UTD swept UT Permian Basin.
 
West Texas A&M (21-9) is alone in fourth place and is coming off taking three games against Oklahoma Christian.
 
UT Tyler has still not lost a series all season.
 
WT leads the league in hitting (.345), while UT Tyler is tops in pitching (4.22 ERA). UTD owns the top fielding percentage (.975).
 
Angelo State’s Austin Beck was named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) National Hitter of the Week on Feb. 19.
 
UT Tyler was voted as the favorite to win the conference title in the LSC preseason poll. UT Tyler junior shortstop Drew Schmidt and senior left-hander Caden Copeland were named LSC Preseason Player and Pitcher of the Year, respectively, to headline the 28 players on the league’s Preseason Watch List.
 
The LSC Baseball Championship will feature a two-week tournament. The opening round is best-of-three series and will be held May 1-3 (Friday-Sunday) at the sites of the No. 2 (vs. No. 7), 3 (vs. 6) and 4 (vs. 5) seeds. The league’s top seed will receive an opening-round bye and host the four-team, double-elimination championship round on May 7-9 (Thursday-Saturday). The LSC Tournament Champion will receive the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Division II Championship.
 
The South Central Regionals are scheduled for May 14-17 with the Super Regional following on May 21-23. The campus sites are TBD. The national finals are set for May 29-June 6 at USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, N.C.
 
Due to being NCAA Division II provisional members, UTD and Sul Ross State are not eligible for the LSC or NCAA tournament but are eligible to win the LSC regular season title and postseason awards.

HITTER
Ashton Beaird, St. Mary’s, 2B, Jr., Business, San Antonio, Texas
St. Mary’s junior second baseman Ashton Beaird hit .533 with a grand slam and nine RBI to help lead the No. 18-ranked Rattlers to a road series win over St. Edward’s. Beaird also scored four runs, was hit by three pitches and drew one walk. He did not strike out and played errorless defense. Beaird’s grand slam came in the Game 3 when it was a scoreless game in the fourth inning. His blast helped StMU take the series lead, 2-1. Beaird’s performance also kept the Rattlers atop the conference standings and led them to their ninth win over 10 ballgames. He has hit safely in every game he’s played during that stretch.
 
PITCHER
Gabe Cook, St. Mary’s, LHP, Jr., Exercise and Sport Science, San Antonio, Texas
St. Mary’s junior left-hander Gabe Cook tossed six shutout innings with six strikeouts and allowed just one hit to earn the win on the road against St. Edward’s. Cook did not walk a batter and had a perfect game through 5 2/3 innings. His performance helped the No. 18-ranked Rattlers take a 2-1 advantage in the series. It was Cook’s third straight start after beginning the season in the bullpen. He is 2-0 over that stretch and the Rattlers have won all three of his starts.
