Once again, rain forced Northeast Texas Community College (5-5) baseball to head out on the road. NTCC made the three hour trip to Tishomingo, Oklahoma and came away with a 19-5 win over Murray State College.
Jake Chapman was seeing the ball well, and went 4-4 with three homeruns and six RBI’s on the day. The Eagles pounded out 17 hits on the day to take down Murray State in seven innings. Trevor Gowin, Isaac Rivera, and Bryce Crow would all join Chapman with multi-hit games. Nico Baumbach would also add a homerun to give the Eagles four round trippers on the day.
Mikel Howell got the start on the mound and gave up just one run on three hits, striking out seven in five innings of work. Kaleb Wisnoski and Mitch Turner would finish things up for NTCC on the mound.
Weather has again forced the cancellation of this weekend’s series with Hutchison Community College from Kansas on the NTCC Campus. The Eagles will take on Weatherford College next week on Tuesday for one final non-conference tune up before beginning conference play with Angelina College at home February 27th.
