LAWTON, Okla. – The Cameron University baseball team will look to rebound from their four game losing stretch as they take on Lone Star Conference foe Tarleton State in a four game non-conference series.

Due to LSC regulations, any contest against a league opponent played before the eighth week of the season will not count towards the teams' conference records. CU and the Texans will start their four game series on Friday, March 9 at 3 p.m. They will then play a doubleheader on Saturday, March 10 beginning at 1 p.m., followed by a single game on Sunday, March 11 with first pitch slated for 1 p.m.

The Aggies are 7-7 and are coming off of a 10-3 loss on Tuesday against Southeastern Oklahoma State. Cameron had four errors against the Savage Storm and an early five run second inning was the tipping point in the loss. Briton Schiewe drove in all three of CU's runs on a double in the sixth inning, while also going 2-2 with two walks.

On the season, the Black and Gold are hitting .254 with 65 runs scored and 25 extra base hits, five of which are home runs. Trey Bigford leads the team with a .375 batting average and 18 hits. Preseason All-American, Micah Kaaukai leads CU with 11 runs scored on the year, while Colton Adams has a team best 10 RBI.

Tarleton State is 9-8 overall this year and are also on a four game slide after getting swept by West Texas A&M last weekend. The first two games of the series with close games that were decided by one and three runs, but the latter two were 14-3 and 14-4 blowouts.
