The Chaps baseball team had a busy Easter weekend playing April 9-11.
Midland College didn't have much luck Thursday, April 9, losing 16-13 against El Paso Community College. MC went through four pitchers as El Paso kept upping the score.
"Thursday night was a tough loss," said sophomore Brandon Williamson in the Midland Reporter-Telegram.
The Chaps came back Friday, April 10, as a different team ready to play in a doubleheader against the Tejanos again.
MC got the job done beating El Paso 10-0 in game one and 4-2 in game two.
MC pitchers Travis Lawler and Williamson both had great games not letting the Tejanos get any further from the batter's box. Both Kris Pearce and Toby Semler hit doubles in the bottom of the first inning of the first game.
MC completed their series on a high note Saturday, April 11, defeating El Paso once again with a 7-5 victory.
Sophomore left-handed pitcher Jamie Storey was on the mound for four innings and only gave up two runs.
MC's Logan Bawcom hit a two-run homerun and Pearce hit a triple and a double in the third inning.
"I liked how we bounced back after the first game on Thursday and won the next three. Overall, it was a good weekend," Storey said.
The Chaps won three out of the four-game series against New Mexico Junior College in a doubleheader, Friday and Saturday, April 3-4. MC's offense proved to be too much for the Thunderbirds April 3 in New Mexico when the Chaps beat them 7-3 in game 1 and 25-10 in game 2.
The Chaps were back at their home turf April 4 at Christensen Stadium. MC had a 21-11 victory in the first game but lost the second 16-3. MC pitcher Dave Worsham came in as relief after the Thunderbirds scored six runs off of sophomore Taylor Walton.
"I thought I played well and we ended up winning. It was a good game," Worsham said.
Chaps' Trey Whaley and Bawcom both had homeruns putting up big numbers on the scoreboard. These big plays got the Chaps the win in the first game. The momentum began to slow in the second game after MC pitcher Storey left the mound after four innings.
