Solis went 2 for 3 with a solo home run in the first game of a doubleheader sweep of Clarendon College. He was 1 for 3 with two RBI in the second game. He doubled, drove in three runs and walked twice in a 15-15 tie in the second game of a twin bill with Galveston College. In the first game, he had a homer, three RBI and a walk.
