LAWTON, Okla. – After a late inning rally falls just short, the Cameron University baseball team loses their final home game of the 2013 season to Angelo State, 9-7.

The Aggies fall to 12-29 overall and 6-18 in Lone Star Conference games as they get their third loss of this final home series. Cody Hudson started the game and went five and two thirds innings, gave up seven earned runs, struck out four as he got the loss.

It was a solid day for the Aggie bats as they collected 16 hits on the day against the Rams. Tomas Galvan, Nick Smith, and Kenny Acosta all collected three hits apiece, while Colton Davis, Tyler Cox, and Kevin Waukau all had two hits apiece. Galvan, Waukau, Acosta, and Davis all had a run scored and a run driven in.

The Rams are now 30-16 overall and 14-10 in the LSC after winning three out of four games at McCord field this weekend. Angelo State's starter only went three and two thirds innings so he came away with a no decision, while Mike Weatherly came in and went three and two thirds himself and got his fifth win of the season. Weatherly gave up five hits, only one run, and struck out four Aggie batters.

ASU got a 2-3 three RBI game from Quade McKinnon and a 2-5 four RBI and one run game from Andrew LaCombe.

The Aggies fell behind early, as the Rams put up a three spot in the top of the first inning, getting two runs on a LaCombe two run homer.

Each team went scoreless in the second and third innings, before ASU added to their lead, getting two runs on McKinnon single in the top of the fourth inning.

The Aggies came surging back in the bottom of the fourth inning as they led off the inning with five straight singles that would end up scoring a run. CU would score another run when Wakau scored on an ASU passed ball. Cameron would get their third run on an RBI groundout by Brad Blumer and their fourth on an RBI single by Davis.

Each team scored one run in their half of the fifth inning. Cameron got theirs after Galvan scored on another passed ball.

The Rams extended their lead by two in the top of sixth, getting two runs on two hits in the inning. After a scoreless seventh and eighth innings, Angelo State added another run in the top of the ninth inning.

Cameron came up down four in the bottom of the ninth and got a quick leadoff base runner as Brandon Raidy reached on an error by the ASU first baseman. Raidy was followed by a Davis walk to put runners at first and second with no outs. Angelo State then brought in redshirt freshmen Graylon Brown to try and close out the game. Kevin Lum came up next and flew out to deep right field, with Raidy moving up a base on the fly ball. Galvan was next, and on cue, the Aggie senior got a bloop single in between the center and left fielder to score Raidy. Smith then came up and bounced a ball over the third baseman to load the bases. Waukau then came up with a clutch single to center that scored Davis. With the tying run on second and the winning run on first, Acosta shot a ball down the third base line that seemed to bring in another run, but the home plate umpire called the ball foul, and Acosta struck out on swinging for the second out of the inning. Cox came to the plate next and watched three straight balls come to the plate. After a called strike and a couple of foul balls, Cox watched Brown paint the low outside corner to get the strike out to win the game. Brown was credited with his first safe of his career.

Cameron will conclude the 2013 season with a four game series at Tarleton State.
