Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 LUBBOCK, Texas – It was a day of season-highs when the McMurry baseball team took on Lubbock Christian in a double header action on Saturday. Over the two games, the programs combined for 38 runs as the two teams split a pair of games, with McM taking the first game, 11-2, before falling in game two, 22-3.

In game one, the War Hawks' bats came alive as they struck for a season-high, 11 runs in the contest. Six different players registered an RBI in the game, led by Jon Mejia's three-RBI day.

McM wasted no time getting on the board as Mejia reached on a fielder's choice which scored Patrick Adams to give McMurry the 1-0 lead. The Chaps quickly responded in the bottom of the second inning as they got to starter Spencer Smith for two runs to take the 2-1 advantage.

It was in the bottom of the third that the War Hawks blew the game open, striking for five runs in the frame. McM used three-straight extra base hits to open the inning as Greg Koll tripled to left center and was followed by a double from Dylan De Leon and a triple by Jon Mejia, which led to the first two runs. After back-to-back walks to Jeremy Ruiz and AJ Dupre loaded the bases, the War Hawks would use small-ball to strike for three more runs, with the last run coming on a sacrifice fly by Ricky Garcia to make the score 6-2 in favor of McMurry.

McMurry would add two more runs in the top of the fourth on RBIs by Mejia and Dupre before striking for three more in the top of the seventh.
