Sam Houston Beats #7 Baylor

See this link for the story. - http://www.kwtx.com/sports/headlines/43401977.html They brought Matt in for the big final out against the #5 hitting team in the country with two runners on the corners. He gave up a run on two hits but struck out their big home run hitter looking at the plate to get the save. He made it very thrilling...too thrilling for his poor mom.

We found out yesterday that Nate will be staying in Kansas for the summer to play baseball for the Netwon Rebels. Here is their website - http://www.newtonrebels.4t.com/ they start playing games on June 1. I am sad he won't be home for the summer but I know this is what he has to do to be a successful college pitcher but I sure like my chickens home in the nest! Hopefully Rick and I can go up and see some of the games.

April 3rd

Sam Houston played McNeese State tonight, in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Matt came in the 7th with one out giving up only 2 hits and had 3 strikeouts and pitched 3.2 innings through the 10th to get his 5th win of the season;
That drops his ERA down to 1.57. The announcers kept talking about his amazing control and big breaking ball.

Nate got his first win in the books! He has doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday so more info to come.
