SAN ANGELO, Texas – The Eastern New Mexico University baseball team dropped both games of today’s double header with Angelo State, 7-3 and 5-3, on Saturday afternoon in San Angelo. The losses move ENMU to 14-4 on the season. The Hounds look to salvage a win in the series finale tomorrow.
In the first game, ENMU surrendered a pair of three spots in the fourth and sixth innings, leading to a 7-3 setback. Endy Villalona set the table for the offense, going a perfect 3-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. The Greyhounds scored in three-consecutive innings in the third, fourth and fifth on RBI shots from Jared Gay, Michael McNicholl and Villalona.
In game two, Garlind Webster staked the Greyhounds to a 1-0 lead in the top of the second. The third baseman jumped all over the first offering he saw, sending a ball over the wall in left. Austin Paisar turned in a strong start, tossing 5.0 innings while allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits with a walk and four strikeouts, but was tagged with the loss in the 5-3 decision. Eastern brought the tying run to the plate after Blake Frye and Luke Vedder notched a single and a double, respectively, in the top of the seventh, but a groundout ended the threat.
The series concludes tomorrow in San Angelo. First pitch is tabbed for 2 p.m. For all the latest news on ENMU athletics, follow @ENMUBaseball and @ENMUAthletics on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
