LUBBOCK, Texas – Both teams lit up the scoreboard, but the Aggies would come out on top in a 14-10 non-conference win over No. 22 Lubbock Christian on Tuesday night.
 
The Aggies (21-11) edged the Chaps (22-10) in hits by one, recording 12 on the game; two of which were doubles and two were home runs. Errors were split at three each.
 
Cody Bower led the Aggies offensively, blasting two homers in a 4 for 6 night at the plate; Bower also batted in a team high three runs and crossed home four times himself. Nate Hale went 3 for 5 with 2 RBI and had a stolen base.
 
Lubbock Christian was the first to strike in the opening frame, scoring on a groundout, but the Aggies answered back in the second inning on an RBI double making it 1-1. The Chaps would gain the lead, plating two in the third inning, but CU responded with four runs in the fourth inning in a 5-3 score that began with a solo homer by Bower.
 
A Lubbock Christian two run homer tied the game at 5-5 in the bottom of the fourth, but the Aggies kept momentum to manufacture five hits in an eight run inning in the top of the sixth for the 14-5 advantage. Bower highlighted with a two run homer himself and Hale also brought in two on a double to left center.
 
The Chaps were not done and scored five runs in the bottom of the seventh, which included a 3 RBI home run, but it would not be enough to overtake the Aggies as both teams did not score again in the remaining two innings for the 14-10 Aggie win.
 
Blake Welch (2-0) was credited with the win following five innings of work where he allowed seven hits and five runs. Jackson Tetreault and John Millan also made appearances, each pitching two innings and striking out two apiece.
