LAWTON – The Cameron baseball team handed William Jewell its first loss in an 8-5 victory at McCord Field on Friday. The Aggies remain undefeated at 8-0 while the Cardinals move to 0-1.
 
Cameron struck first with a run in the first inning and quickly added three more in the bottom of the second as Cody Bower would hit a two RBI double, and Tyler McKenzie singled to left field bringing him in for the 4-0 Aggie advantage.
 
The Aggies would extend their lead to five, but the Cardinals were on their toes in the bottom of the seventh when an Aggie error in center field allowed a Cardinal single to advance to third, bringing in two runs. A balk then allowed the run to come home with the Cards still trailing 5-3.
 
William Jewell wasn't done and would tie the Aggies at 5-5 in the eighth inning; however, Cameron would score three on a pair of singles up the middle to make it 8-5.
 
A Cardinal batter would double up the left field line, but Logan Fanning (1-0) struck out the next three for his first win on the mound this season. CU's starter Bryan Belote had ten strikeouts in 6.1 innings for the Ags.
 
Jonathan Reyes and Tyler McKinzie both went 2-for-4 on the game with two RBI each.
 
The Aggies will return to the diamond tomorrow for a doubleheader against the Cardinals beginning at 12 p.m. at McCord Field.
