The Javelinas Upend Baseball In Series Finale, 13-3 (7 Inn.)

Dylan Hummel extended his hitting streak to eight consecutive games

KINGSVILLE, Texas - Eastern New Mexico Baseball dropped the final game of a four-game series with Texas A&M-Kingsville, 13-3 (7 Inn), on Sunday afternoon at Nolan Ryan Field. ENMU fall to 4-8, with the same LSC record. The Javelinas move to 7-6 overall, with a 6-6 conference record. 
 
The home team wasted no time to get on the scoreboard, using a three run home run to go ahead 3-0 after the first frame. ENMU replied with a run in the following inning, with the Greyhounds taking advantage of a throwing error by the Javelinas, 2-1 TAMUK.
 
From then the Javelinas built up their lead over the Greyhounds slowly, with two runs in the second inning, two runs in the fourth frame, and one run in the fifth stanza, taking a 8-1 lead after five full innings. The Greyhounds showed some fight with a pair of runs in the sixith inning. Dylan Hummel reached on a single and Nick Schifftner reached on a walk, bringing Spencer Roach to the with one out. Roach singled to left center, with both runs coming across the plate for ENMU.
 
However, five runs in the seventh inning from the Javelinas ended the contest in seven innings. TAMUK posted six hits in the seventh, including a pair of home runs ( a three run home run and a solo home run). The contest ended 13-3 TAMUK over the Greyhounds.

FROM THE SOURCE

"A sloppy start to the day giving free bases and they capitalized on them early," said Head Baseball Coach Riley Price. "Bats were stating to wakeup, but their soft lefty came in throwing strikes to a big zone and kept us off balance. We started to create some momentum to come back, but a rookie base-running error put a stop to it," said Price. Overall, we have to face adversity with a little more fight offensively to keep us in game that get out of hand when our starting pitchers are struggling. Our consistency and toughness needs to get better all the way around going into our next home stand," said Price.

BEYOND THE BOX SCORE

  • Roach collected his second multi-hit game of the season, and Hamilton took his team high third stolen base of the season.
  • Hummel extended his hitting streak to eight straight games, while Martinez complied his second double of the season. 
  • ENMU returns home for a four-game series with St. Edward's University at Greyhounds Baseball Field. The series opener begins at 3 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 24.
