LAWTON, OKLA. — Justin Paul batted three for five with a pair of runs batted in for the Eastern New Mexico University baseball team (10-24; LSC 3-17) in Sunday's Lone Star Conference series finale at Cameron (20-11; LSC 9-11). The Greyhounds charged to a lead and withstood an Aggie rally to post a 10-6 victory at McCord Field.

The game marked ENMU's eight road victory over the Aggies since the 1999 season. The win snapped the Aggies' five-game home winning streak and dropped CU to 13-5 at McCord Field. Eastern snapped a seven-game skid with the win.

Eastern snapped a scoreless tie, when Mike McNicholl drove his second homer of the season to left field, to lead off the third inning. The Hounds sent 11 batters to the plate in the fourth and tacked on seven runs to seize an 8-0 lead.

The Aggies managed to score five straight runs to pull within 8-5, but to CU errors after the Hounds loaded the bases, allowed a pair of runs to come home.

Alec Lemmon went 6.1 innings and allowed three earned runs, with four strikeouts, to earn his third win of the season. Cameron managed just one run on four hits against reliever Adam Klein the rest of the way.
