  "textContent": "**RICHARDSON, Texas** — The UT Dallas Comets completed a statement series sweep of West Texas A&M on Sunday, showcasing dominance on both sides of the ball in a 9-3 victory. The win pushes the Comets to an impressive 5-1 record to open the season as they head into a high-stakes road matchup next weekend.\n\n### McCown Finds the Bleachers\n\nAfter going the first five games of the season without a long ball, the Comets' power finally arrived via right fielder Trent McCown. McCown blasted the team's first two home runs of the year in his first two at-bats of the day, coming in the first and fourth innings. He finished the afternoon 2-for-3 with two RBIs, a walk, and three runs scored.\n\nThe offense also saw significant contributions from\n\nAlex Miller (DH): 1-for-3 with three RBIs, a walk, and one run scored.\n\nAlbert Garza (2B): 1-for-4 with two runs and a stolen base.\n\n### Stellar Day on the Mound\n\nSeth Taylor (1-0) earned his first win of the season with a commanding start. Taylor worked five innings, allowing just one run on three hits. While he navigated three walks, a wild pitch, and a hit batter, he racked up four strikeouts across 84 pitches to maintain his 4.00 ERA.\n\n### The Comets bullpen largely silenced the Buffaloes' bats\n\nTag Pacot: Continued his effective early-season run with three scoreless innings, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out four on 60 pitches.\n\nSam Webster: Faced a tough stretch in 0.2 innings, allowing two runs on one hit, two walks, a wild pitch, and two hit batters.\n\nGavin Hickman: Entered for the final out, needing only two pitches to secure the win for the Comets.\n\nWest Texas A&M’s Nick Yeager (0-1) was charged with the loss.\n\n### Road Test Ahead\n\nThe Comets (5-1) now prepare for their toughest challenge yet: a four-game road series against undefeated St. Mary's (6-0). The set begins Friday, with a doubleheader scheduled for Saturday and the series concludes on Sunday.",
