The wind gusting through Riverside Stadium was no match for the power generated by Zane Williams' swing.Williams hit a pair of three-run home runs to help the University of Houston-Victoria win both games of a doubleheader Saturday and complete a sweep of a three-game series against LSU-Alexandria.

The Jaguars won the first game 13-4 and claimed an 8-2 win in the second game to boost their record to 8-6.

UHV overcame a strong north wind by getting 13 hits in the first game and 11 in the second. Williams supplied the power with his fourth and fifth home runs of the season.

"Zane hits a big ball," UHV coach Terry Puhl said. "He hit a couple today the wind did not help. It's literally into the face of the hitter. He has some big power, he really does. We'll see a little bit more benefit as we get a little bit more south wind and it's launch time around here."

Williams propelled both home runs over the right-field fence, the first blast coming in the bottom of the first inning of the opening game and following with a shot in the third inning of the series finale.

"I finally got pitches I could hit and I finally got to attack them," Williams said. "I got something in the zone and I got a good piece of them."

The Jaguars trailed 4-3 in the opening game before scoring three runs in the fifth and seven in the sixth to turn the contest into a rout. Williams' home run broke a 1-1 tie in the second game and UHV added four runs in the fifth.

"This series I was pretty pleased," Puhl said. "We were swinging at better strikes. We didn't get way out of the strike zone like we did earlier in the season, so they're getting a little bit better idea of the strike zone."

Puhl was also pleased with the pitching of starters Ray Maldonado and Bobby Gomez.

Maldonado pitched a complete game, yielding six hits and three earned runs while striking out eight. Gomez gave up seven hits and one earned run before being relieved by Chris Neiser with two outs in the sixth inning.

"That's all by design," Puhl said. "We've been trying to keep on pushing these guys and we took a couple of early losses because we just could not afford to take them out because you project those guys to be starters."

The Jaguars had 32 hits against the Generals (5-8) and hope to carry the offensive momentum into Tuesday's game at Texas A&M-Kingsville.

"We've been listening to coach Puhl and getting the balls in our zones," said Williams, who went 6-for-12 against LSU-Alexandria. "We were waiting for strikes and attacking strikes and that's what we did and it worked out for us."
