Thank goodness Eastern New Mexico University's baseball team came back for a stunning win in Friday's Lone Star Conference series opener. Otherwise, the rest of the weekend didn't go too well.

TYLER, Texas – Eastern New Mexico University’s softball program came into the season winless all-time against two Lone Star Conference programs – Lubbock Christian and Texas-Tyler. The Greyhounds have now scratched both of those items off their list, winning the second game of Saturday’s twin bill against UTT 3-2. They weren’t able to carry the momentum over to Sunday, however, as the fifth-ranked Patriots (28-7, 19-5 LSC) rode a six-run second to an 8-2 triumph in the series finale. ENMU is now 1-42 all-time against L...
ALAMOGORDO – With about a five-hour bus ride, it was going to be tough to play two games on Monday night anyway. With an hour delay for lightning in the middle, that pretty much took care of a second game. Portales High and Alamogordo did manage to get through one tilt, though, with the Tigers rallying after the delay for a 7-6 victory. PHS (3-2), coming off a championship in Eunice’s Cardinal Classic on Saturday, led 2-0 through three innings when play was halted. The Rams went up 5-1 with a three-run fifth, but the Tig...

The hit gave the Cats (6-5) a 5-3 lead, and they held on with sophomore left-hander Joseph Hernandez working the final four innings in relief and allowing just two hits and a run. "...
Ruger Bravo found himself in an unusual position on Friday night.

The senior left-hander allowed no runs over four two-hit innings, and the Greyhounds held on for a 6-5 victory at Greyhound Field. The teams were scheduled for two seven-inning tilts on Saturday. They’ll complete the s...
After a rough stretch against some of the Lone Star Conference's best squads, Eastern New Mexico University's softball team picked up a much-needed series sweep against last-place Texas-Permian Basin, capped by 8-5 and 6-2 wins in Wednesday's doubleheader at Greyhound Softball Field.
