Aggies split doubleheader with Eastern New Mexico

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 PORTALES, N.M. – The Cameron baseball team spilt their final regular season conference doubleheader to Eastern New Mexico on Saturday afternoon; CU would win game one 6-4 and drop the final game of the series 5-4.

The long ball guided Cameron with a pair of three run innings in the fourth and fifth innings to push them in the win in game one. 

Cameron trailed ENMU through three innings before Tobin Mateychick hit a homer to left field to score Matt Nilmeyer and Harold Cannon tie the game a three each.

ENMU plated a run in the bottom half of the fifth before Brandon Raidy hit his second homer of the weekend to tie the game at four and Codey McElroy singled before Cannon homered to put CU ahead once again 6-4.

The Greyhounds would push a run through in the bottom half of the fifth but CU starter Drew Reidt would put them down in order in the sixth and seventh inning to win the game 6-4.

Cameron would put together six hits with Cannon being the only player with two hits, Reidt (6-6) used 93 pitches and tossed the complete game win.

In the nightcap, Cannon hit a RBI single after a McElroy double in the first gave CU the early 1-0 lead. 

Eastern New Mexico came back in the second with a four run inning to take advantage away from the Aggies.

Cameron chipped away at the ENMU lead with a Mateychick RBI single in the fourth, a Cody Knight solo homer in the fifth, and Nilmeyer scoring off of a Greyhound error tied the game in the seventh.

The Greyhounds got the last laugh though, and in the bottom half of the seventh a leadoff single proved to be the tipping point and ENMU dropped a bunt over to place the runner in scoring position; their next batter would single to drive in the go-ahead run in to lead 5-4.

After the seventh, Cameron batters went down in order in the eighth and ninth innings as they would fall to 17-26 overall and 11-20 in the LSC.

Cole Williams, Knight, and Nilmeyer would all have multi-hit games for the Aggies.

Steve Matta went six innings and gave up four earned runs, Ryan Daspin (1-2) recorded the final six outs and was charged for the loss.

Cameron will remain on the road  for a non-conference doubleheader on Tuesday against McMurry.
