History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n LAWTON, Oklahoma (April 18, 2026) \u2013 More changes came to Lubbock Christian University’s schedule on Saturday, but it didn’t phase the Chaps, who finished off one win and secured a second in the series against Cameron.
\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nThe Chaps are now 26-18 on the season and currently fifth in the Lone Star Conference standings.
\n\u00a0
\nIn the resumption of Friday’s suspended contest, which picked up in the top of the eighth inning, LCU’s offense immediately went back to work. Hudson Grace<\/a> drove in a pair with a single and then worked a double steal with Kyle Lewis<\/a> to add one more run before the Aggies were able to get out of the inning.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0Those runs proved important to secure the Chaparral victory, because even though the Aggies went scoreless in the bottom half of the frame, they had one final comeback attempt in the bottom of the ninth.
\n\u00a0
\nCameron plated three runs in the frame with just one out recorded, chasing Dakota McCaskill<\/a> as LCU brought Tyler Sudderth<\/a> out of the bullpen. He walked a batter to put runners at the corners, but Jorge De Los Santos<\/a> nabbed a runner trying to steal second, and Sudderth got a strikeout to end the game.
\n\u00a0
\nLubbock Christian had taken an early lead when the game began on Friday with Kyle Lewis<\/a> homering to deep left field on the second pitch of the game. Hudson Grace<\/a> then tripled and scored on Jorge De Los Santos’s<\/a> sacrifice fly, putting the Chaparrals ahead 2-0 through the first inning.
\n\u00a0
\nCameron responded in the second inning. Zane Roos singled and advanced on plays, leading to two unearned runs due to a fielding error. The Aggies gained a 3-2 lead in the third inning when Wyatt Cunningham scored on a another error.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Chaps regained momentum in the fourth inning with Hudson Grace<\/a> hitting a three-run homer, moving the team back in front, 5-3. In the sixth inning, Lewis added another run with a sacrifice fly, before the lightning malfunction pushed the conclusion of the game to Saturday.
\n\u00a0
\nGAME TWO
\nLubbock Christian jumped out to an early lead once again, scoring three runs. Kyle Lewis<\/a> and Hudson Grace<\/a> both singled, and an error allowed Lewis to score. Owen Alsup’s<\/a> RBI single brought in Grace, and Jorge De Los Santos<\/a> later scored on a double play as the Chaps went up 3-0 before starting pitcher Aaron Rubio<\/a> ever took the mound.
\n\u00a0
\nIn the second inning, the Chaps capitalized on a fielding error to add four more runs. Tanner Pachorek<\/a>, Lewis, and Grace all reached base, with De Los Santos and Alsup driving in three runs combined. Freddie Nolen’s<\/a> groundout scored another, extending the lead to 7-0.
\n\u00a0
\nThe third inning saw Chase Ditmar<\/a> and Pachorek reach base safely, followed by Grace’s RBI single, to drive in Ditmar and give the Chaps an eight-run advantage, but the Aggies responded with three runs in the bottom of the inning.
\n\u00a0
\nDuring the fifth inning, the Chaps capitalized on another error to score, with Pachorek’s groundout bringing Carlos Mauldin<\/a> home. They added more in the sixth when Grace and De Los Santos both walked and stole bases. A hit-by-pitch scored Grace, and Ditmar’s single drove in two more runs as Lubbock Christian extended the lead to 12-3.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Aggies managed to score two runs in the seventh inning, forcing the Chaps to again call on Sudderth. He got out of the frame and pitched a scoreless eighth before giving way to Landon Abrahamson<\/a>, who hung a zero in the ninth to close out the win.
\n\u00a0
\nGAME NOTES<\/p>\n
\n\tSudderth became the seventh different Chap pitcher to record a save this season, matching the most they have had in a single season in the NCAA Era (since 2016). They also had seven pitchers record saves in 2024
\n\tGrace ended up falling a double short of the cycle in the first game and is batting .556 with five runs scored and six RBI through two games. His home run was the first since Feb. 14, when he homered twice against Oklahoma Christian
\n\tDitmar’s hit in the third inning of the second game was his first this season. He becomes the 14th different LCU player with a hit this year
\n\tRubio struck out a season-high nine batters in his 6.2 innings or work on the way to his seventh win of the season, which is tied for the third-most in the LSC
\n\tGrace stole three bases in the second game, which is the second-most by a Chap in a game this year. He, Lewis and De Los Santos have all swiped more than 20 bags apiece in 2026

\nNEXT UP
\nWith all the rearranging due to lighting issues and weather, Lubbock Christian and Cameron will now play the two seven inning games of the series at noon on Sunday at McCord Field.
