Aggies take two from Greyhounds

UPDATED STATISTICS»

PORTALES, N.M. (March 17) - Kacy Groves hurled his second shutout of the season to fuel a Game 1 victory and the Cameron offense came alive in the nightcap, as the Aggie baseball team posted a doubleheader sweep over Eastern New Mexico on Friday.

Groves led the Aggies to a 4-0 win in the first game and Cameron improved to 10-13 overall with a 13-3 win in Game 2. The teams will resume their four-game weekend series with another doubleheader Saturday afternoon.

Cameron scored all four of its Game 1 runs in the sixth inning, as Groves and ENMU starter Kelly Crain held both teams in check. But the Aggies capitalized on a Greyhound error early in the sixth, using a two-run double by John Herbert to break the scoreless tie before getting an RBI double by Greg Patton and a run-scoring infield single by Matt Machinski to make it 4-0.

Groves, meanwhile, continued to mow down the ENMU lineup. The senior right-hander recorded just two strikeouts, but did not walk a batter and allowed only three hits in the contest. The effort gave Groves his fifth complete game of the season, as well.

In the second game, Cameron wasted no time getting on the board. Eastern New Mexico committed two first-inning errors to go along with four Aggie hits, including a two-run double by B.J. Cole, as Cameron raced to a 4-0 advantage.

The Aggies made it 5-0 in the second on an RBI single by Herbert and led 9-2 in the third on a two-run single up the middle by Waylon Pettet and another two-run double by Cole.

ENMU scored its final run in the bottom of the third, but the Aggies added four more runs the rest of the way to pull away. Blake Hughes plated a run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth and Cole drove in his fifth run of the game with an RBI groundout in the sixth. Pettet picked up another pair of RBI with a single in the seventh to round out the scoring.

Ryan Totte earned the win on the mound for the Aggies in Game 2, surrendering three runs on eight hits in just over five innings of work. Jason Huffaker came on to finish in the sixth inning, allowing just one hit in one and two-thirds innings.

Pettet led the Aggie hitting attack in the game, going 4-for-4 with four RBI. Cole finished 2-for-5 at the plate with five RBI. Herbert, Machinski and Mark Armstrong also had two hits apiece.
