Redmen Skid Reaches Eight Games (4-15-06)
TAHLEQUAH, Okla. --- Northeastern State failed twice to hold leads entering the latter stages of the game and that proved costly as Cameron swept the Redmen, 9-8 and 19-9, in a Lone Star North baseball twinbill at Rousey Field Saturday afternoon.NSU, now 12-34 overall and 4-11 in league action, dropped its eighth consecutive game. CU, which swept the five game series against the Redmen this year, improved to 27-17 and 12-3 to stay in a tie in first place in the LSC North with Central Oklahoma.
Tim Neal pitched well in the opener, scattering eight hits and four runs over six innings and the Redmen held a 6-4 edge when he was pulled in the top of the seventh. Cody Cisper and Branden Stidham surrendered five runs without a hit as the pair combined to walk five, one hit batsman and shortstop, Joel Eusebio, committed an error. Jonathan Wygle stymied the Cameron five-run rally by striking out one and catcher, Nash Garcia, threw out an Aggie baserunner attempting to steal second.
The damage had been done, though, as CU took a 9-6 margin into the bottom of the frame where the Redmen scored twice and left the bases loaded when Jared Mixon fanned to end the game.
Zach Hamby, a freshman first baseman, led NSU's 10-hit attack by going three-for-four at the plate with a single, double and home run to collect four RBIs. Eric Humphrey hit the first of his two homers on the afternoon in the first game and was two-for-four for the game.
The nightcap turned into another horrendous finish for the Redmen. NSU built an 8-5 cushion by scoring three times in the fourth, two of those coming off Joe Jennett's home run, and four more in the fifth after Humphrey hit a two-run homer and Joel Garcia added another two-run shot later in the frame.
However, Cameron scored 14 runs in the final two innings, six in the sixth and eight in the seventh, to record the lopsided victory.
Northeastern State will play at Southwestern Oklahoma State on Wednesday with the doubleheader slated to begin at 2 p.m. in Weatherford.

Aggies Trim Redmen Twice (3-29-06)
LAWTON, Okla. --- Northeastern State dropped its Lone Star North Division openers in heartbreaking fashion Wednesday as Cameron swept the Redmen, 10-9 and 1-0.The Aggies (17-14 and 2-0 in LSC North action) overcame a 7-3 deficit with five runs in the fourth inning to win the opener, then scored an unearned run with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning to earn the sweep. NSU fell to 8-25 and 0-2.
Kevin Humphrey, a freshman southpaw, was cruising along in the fourth after the Redmen had plated three runs in the first and four in the third for a 7-3 margin. However, CU took advantage of a Redmen error and Humphrey surrendered two home runs in the frame, and the Aggies turned a four run deficit into a 9-7 lead.
Each team added a run in the sixth and NSU scored once in the seventh to pull to within 10-9. But, that's as close as the Redmen got when Cody McCarter grounded into a fielder's choice to end the game with two runners aboard.
Nash Garcia and McCarter hit back-to-back homers for the Redmen in the first inning. Garcia and freshman, Zach Hamby, had three hits apiece as NSU attacked Cameron's pitching staff for 13 hits in the opener. Humphrey took the loss by giving up 10 Aggie hits and only five of his 10 runs were earned. The Owasso product fanned six and walked two as his record on the hill fell to 3-4.
In the nightcap, sophomore Cody Cisper pitched a gem, scattering just four hits and striking out nine despite suffering the loss. Cisper retired the first two hitters in the Cameron eighth, but hit Waylon Pettet and the speedy outfielder stole second base. After Pettet moved to third on a wild pitch, B.J. Cole's grounder to Redmen shortstop Joel Eusebio was mishandled, allowing Pettet to score the game-winning unearned run.
CU hurler, Ryan Totte, pitched a complete game and handcuffed the Redmen, giving up just three hits as he improved to 3-2. Cisper took the loss and fell to 2-6.
Northeastern State will continue LSC North action this weekend by hosting a three-game series with Southwestern Oklahoma State. The teams will play a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 2 p.m., followed by a single nine inning affair on Sunday afternoon at 1 at Rousey Field.

Javelinas Sweep Redmen (2-18-06)
KINGSVILLE, Texas --- Texas A&M-Kingsville swept a four-game series with Northeastern State this weekend.The Javelinas shutout the Redmen on Friday 2-0 and 7-0, then recorded 10-1 and 12-3 wins on Saturday.
NSU fell to 1-6 on the year, while TAMUK improved to 7-1. The Redmen had just 10 hits in the series and were riddled with eight errors, including five in the first game on Saturday.
A bright spot for NSU was sophomore right-hander Cody Cisper who suffered a 2-0 loss in the series opener. Cisper tossed a complete game and scattered only five hits while fanning five and walking three. The damage was done, though, courtesy of two wild pitches in the Javelinas' third inning when they plated two runs by virtue of the pitching miscues.
Northeastern State is scheduled to play its home-opener on Tuesday, weather permitting.

Redmen Drop Twinbill at Arkansas Tech (2-4-06)
RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. --- Northeastern State opened the 2006 baseball campaign with a doubleheader loss at Arkansas Tech, 12-8 and 7-2.The Redmen (0-2) surrendered six runs in the middle innings of the 9-inning opener, then committed five errors in the nightcap to suffer the doubleheader sweep. Tech improved to 2-0.
In the first game, NSU scored four times in the first, one in the second and three in the third to build a 7-5 advantage. NSU was aided in the first stanza by a pair of ATU errors and Mike McKee plated two on a double in the frame, which was the only hit.
The Wonder Boys scored twice in the first and three in the second to tie the game before Joel Garcia had an RBI sacrifice fly and Cody McCarter singled home a run with a single to center.
Things went sour from there for the Redmen.
ATU tied the game again with a run in the fourth and fifth innings before breaking in front for good with four in the sixth.
The two teams combined for 28 hits in the opener --- ATU had 16 and NSU 12. Tyler Eaton suffered the loss with three runs on three hits in only 1/3 of an inning on the mound. Tech's Blake Bailey got the win with four innings thrown. He scattered six hits but did not allow a run.
In the nightcap, NSU scored a run in the first before Arkansas Tech's Dennis Jones retired 15 straight Redmen hitters as the Wonder Boys constructed a 7-1 margin.

He tossed six innings and fanned five to earn the victory.
Cody Cisper suffered the loss despite allowing only three hits. The sophomore struck out five and walked four but five NSU miscues behind him doomed his 2006 debut.
