The Redmen fell to 6-7 overall, while TAMUK improved to 5-5. A&M-Kingsville pounded out 11 hits in the first game and took control by scoring five runs in the middle innings to get the win. The Javs plated three runs in the fourth then added a pair of unearned runs in the fifth to take a 6-0 advantage. Mike McKee suffered the loss and fell to 1-2, while Chris White tossed a complete game and recorded his second win of the year against one loss. NSU managed just seven hits in the opener, two each coming from Matt Simmons and Cody McCarter. In the nightcap, NSU came from behind with three runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game at 4-all and force an extra innings. The top of the eighth was nightmarish for the Redmen with A&M-Kingsville scoring three times to take the lead for good. The Javelinas took advantage of NSU's pitching woes as reliever Cody Cisper hit the first two batters in the inning, then misplayed a sacrifice bunt to load the bases. Following a pop-up out, Cisper walked in a run for a 5-4 TAMUK edge. Steve Yaden's ground out allowed another run to score before Cisper hit the next batter to reload the bases. Eiron Ledesma, who relieved Cisper on the next hitter, appeared to have gotten out of the jam when Dustin Brooks hit a grounder to Cody McCarter at third. McCarter attempted to tag Andrew Sweet who was coming to third base on the play and Sweet was ruled safe after McCarter failed to make the tag on Sweet who appeared to have gone out of the baseline. The play pushed another run home and resulted in four NSU player ejections for arguing with the umpire. The disaster ended when Erik Lingren lined out to centerfield, but the damage had been done. Cisper took the loss and fell to 1-2, while Kyle Thompson, who pitched 1 1/3 innings, got his first win of the year.
