\nGAME ONE
\nIt was a pitcher’s duel to start the day, as Karson Dunn<\/a> for the Chaps and Zachary Wright for the Javelinas matched each other zero for zero through the first three frames.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Chaparrals finally broke through in the fourth inning when Jorge De Los Santos<\/a> walked, stole second, and advanced to third on a passed ball. Freddie Nolen’s<\/a> RBI single to shallow right field allowed De Los Santos to score, giving the Chaps a 1-0 lead.
\n\u00a0
\nTAMUK answered right back though and tied the game in the bottom of the inning with a sacrifice fly that brought in Landon Salinas, making it 1-1 through four innings.
\n\u00a0
\nIn the fifth inning, Dylan Marx<\/a> walked and advanced to second on a wild pitch before De Los Santos drove him in with a single through the right side to put the Chaps back on top.
\n\u00a0
\nDunn put up a shutdown inning in the bottom of the fifth, but the Javelinas responded in the sixth inning with an RBI double by Cade Minus, tying the score at 2-2 off reliever Isaiah Gonzales.
\n\u00a0
\nLCU answered one more time in the seventh, and De Los Santos was involved again. Kyle Lewis<\/a> led off the rally with a single and was sacrificed over to second. De Los Santos then doubled him home for the winning run.
\n\u00a0
\nGonzalez closed out the game, but had to work around a pair of singles to do it, eventually inducing a groundout to end the game.
\n\u00a0
\nDunn delivered a solid five-inning performance. He allowed only three hits and one earned run while striking out four batters and walking two. Dunn’s efficient outing required 81 pitches, with 46 of those being strikes. Gonzalez earned the win in relief, pitching two innings and giving up three hits and one earned run, with two walks and two strikeouts.

\nGAME TWO
\nThe Chaps opened the second game on the right foot with two runs in the first inning. Lewis doubled down the left field line, and after advancing to third, he scored on a groundout by Jorge De Los Santos<\/a>. Nolen later scored on a single by Carlos Mauldin<\/a>, giving the Chaps a 2\u20130 lead, but they stranded the bases loaded. TAMUK answered with two runs of their own in the bottom of the inning, setting the tone for the back-and-forth affair.
\n\u00a0
\nIn the second inning, the Chaparrals added three runs. Lewis singled and eventually scored on a single by De Los Santos.

\n\u00a0
\nIn the fourth, the Chaparrals regained the lead with three runs and chased the Javelina starter from the game. Hudson Grace<\/a> and De Los Santos both scored on a throwing error, and Nolen scored on a fielder’s choice by Ryan Gargett<\/a>. This offensive burst put the Chaps ahead 8\u20135, and Aaron Rubio<\/a> worked a shutdown bottom half to keep the lead there, but TAMUK scored twice in the fifth to pull back within a run.
\n\u00a0
\nIn the sixth inning, Mauldin hit a solo home run for the Chaparrals, extending the lead to 9\u20137. With Evan Roach<\/a> on the mound in the bottom half of the inning, the Javelinas hit into two quick outs, but then rallied with five straight hits, scoring four runs and taking the lead 11-9.
