In game 1 of Tyler's doubleheader against North Arkansas, something happened that you do not see every day. A Perfect Game. This was thrown by FR RHP Cooper Rawls. He went 5.0 innings while striking out 8 along the way. He, of course, had help from his offense who scored 10 runs in those 5 innings to end the game early in a run rule. Leading the offense in that game was FR LF Heath Hood who was 3-3 on the day with a run batted in and 2 runs; and SO 2B Erik Owens (uncommitted) who was 1-3, with a triple, 2 runs batted in and 2 runs.

In game one of Odessa 4-game series with Luna (NM) SO LHP Marc Luna (uncommitted) threw a 5 inning No-Hitter Striking out 8 while only allowing 1 walk. He was also helped by his offense who run-ruled Luna in 5 winning 12-0. Leading the offense in the game was SO INF Harry Fullerton (New Mexico) who went 2-4 with 2 runs batted in; and SO INF Mason McLenna (New Mexico) who was 1-2, with 3 runs batted in and a run.

This was McLennan’s second week of conference play. They played two games at Vernon on Thursday and then hosted the final two games Saturday. They outscored them 28-13 over those 4 games.
