Orlando Salinas Reaches 100 Wins as Javelinas Sweep Doubleheader
Texas A&M‑Kingsville softball coach Orlando Salinas achieved a milestone on April 10, 2026, earning his 100th career victory during a doubleheader sweep of St. Edward’s University. The first game concluded with a walk‑off win in eight innings, highlighted by a pinch‑hit double from Calallen graduate Megan Geyer that secured a 6‑5 victory. The second game ended in a 7‑5 win, with Bishop graduate Andrea Martinez closing out the game with a strikeout, her third save of the season. The sweep also extended the Javelinas’ winning streak to 13 games—the longest active streak in the Lone Star Conference—and made Salinas the fourth head coach in program history to reach the 100‑win mark. The achievement is notable amid the region’s active baseball and softball scene, which includes youth programs like Salinas Baseball Academy fostering local talent.
