Austin-area baseball teams claimed Game 1 wins as the UIL baseball playoffs continued Thursday with area round series.

LSU baseball ’s Chris Stanfield doubled down the left field line with two outs. Steven Milam started the hit on first and was sent home where he was thrown out by a healthy margin. A&M kept the game tied, 1-1, and in the next inning it retook the lead on a triple from Ben Royo followed by an RBI single from pinch hitter Hayden Schott.

For the No. 1 Texas Longhorns (39-8), their final midweek game of the year against the Lamar Cardinals (37-15) managed to be both in the same game. What started out as a low-scoring affair wound up being a comfortable win for the Longhorns,
