The Greyhounds (11-4) made it close in the ninth with a pair of runs, but right-hander Garrett Kelly closed out a 3 1/3-inning relief stint to earn his third s...

ABILENE, Texas — Although it's a small sample, based on Friday's Eastern New Mexico University-Abilene Christian game, one could draw the conclusion that the Lone Star Conference is a tad better in baseball than the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. The Greyhounds wouldn't argue that, anyway, after getting drubbed 18-3 by the host Wildcats in the round-robin Whitten Inn Classic, matching four LSC squads. ENMU (11-3) came into the game with a 10-2 mark against the RMAC early in the season, but the Hounds were no match on t... Full story

Glenn Eagle did the math. He counted the number of prairie dog burrows on one acre at Ned Houk Park, multiplied it by the 3,200 acres in the city-owned park north of Clovis, and arrived at the estimate of 50,000 burrows — though not all the burrows are inhabited, he said. Eagle was one of several landowners with property adjacent to Ned Houk Park who approached the Clovis City Commission last week for help in eradicating the burrowing rodents. They are worried the f...

"Things are definitely moving in a positive direction." The test runs will be mon...

By the end of Wednesday night, the playoff fortunes improved just a little bit for Tarleton State. With some help, the same was true for Eastern New Mexico University. The host TexAnns used a 17-4 run to open the second half, ending all doubt in a 96-58 win over the Zias that kept the TexAnns a game ahead of both Incarnate Word and West Texas A&M for the third spot in the Lone Star Conference standings.
