Box Score ABILENE, Texas – The McMurry University baseball team (5-6) fell, 10-2, in cross-town matchup against Abilene Christian on Sunday afternoon.

The Wildcats scored at least one run in six of the nine innings during the contest while the ACU pitching staff held the War Hawks to just five hits.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, the War Hawks fought back with two runs in the frame. After Eric Moritz reached base to lead off the inning, a two-out homer by Jeremy Ruiz gave the War Hawks their only two runs of the contest, and cut the lead to 5-2.

Over the final five innings of the contest, three McMurry errors couple with six Wildcat hits gave ACU five more runs in the game, and the game finished with McM on the wrong end of a 10-2 decision.

Offensively, the War Hawks were led by Dylan De Leon's two-for-four night. Ruiz went one-for-four in the contest with two RBIs.
