UTRGV baseball returns home, set to host Lamar

The UTRGV baseball team is back home after a week-long road trip to take on Lamar in Western Athletic Conference play beginning at 7 tonight at UTRGV Baseball Stadium in Edinburg. UTRGV baseball head coach Derek Matlock said there were some positives during the trip to Tarleton, but added the Vaqueros need to play better in all phases to take down a streaking Lamar team that sits atop of the WAC’s Southwest Division at 14-7 overall and 5-1 in conference. The relievers weren’t and we didn’t really play good defense on the turf field with the wind blowing kind of crazy. Just couldn’t put anything together, kind of had a rough Tuesday that started with Incarnate Word and turned into a pretty tough four-game skid,” Matlock said. “We got back in here, had a really good Tuesday, a good Wednesday and have a good one today and try to get ready for a really good Lamar team.”

Texas Supreme Court will take up Cameron Redus lawsuit again

Nearly six years after Cameron Redus was fatally shot by a University of Incarnate Word police officer, the wrongful death lawsuit filed by his family remains tied up in the court system. A spokesperson of the Redus family confirmed that the Texas Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in December over whether UIW should be granted immunity from the lawsuit, a disputed point that has kept the lawsuit from moving forward. "Cruel to the Redus (family) hardly captures the reality of this situation." An appeals court sided with the Redus family and determined the private university is not granted immunity in the case, but the university's attorneys were granted another appeal from the Texas Supreme Court in 2017. The 4th Court of Appeals ruled in the family's favor in 2018, and now the Texas Supreme Court will decide on the immunity claim after oral arguments are heard Dec. 4.
