The baseball team regained some confidence it lost in a four-game home sweep against Incarnate Word by dishing out a sweep of its own last weekend over Oklahoma Panhandle State.
The Wildcats’ bats finally heated up on a frigid Friday afternoon in two easy victories over the Aggies, 4-0 and 20-1, respectively.
Junior Coy Polk (1-1) was the Wildcats’ winning pitcher in Game 1, striking out seven in a two-hit shutout.
Senior Aaron Lawler (1-0) struck out 10 and gave up six hits to notch the Game 2 win.
ACU then polished off Panhandle by scores of 13-2 and 7-2 on Saturday.
Sophomore Ben Brockman (2-0) was ACU’s Game 1 winner in a seven-strikeout, six-hit performance.
Freshman Ben Maynard (1-0) was the Game 2 winner, giving up two runs on four hits with six strikeouts.
Junior center fielder Chris Judkins led ACU at the plate this weekend with six runs and four RBI in a 4-for-8 performance.
The Wildcats improved to 6-6 on the season and begin Lone Star Conference South play this weekend with a three-game home series against West Texas A&M.
