Nacogdoches, TX: The SFA baseball team dropped both games in a doubleheader to Lamar on Saturday, falling 2-1 in game one and 14-3 in game two.

Game 1

Lamar opened the scoring in game one with a run in the first inning.

SFA starter, Joe Richter, settled in after the first frame and tossed four scoreless innings keeping the 'Jacks in the game.

The 'Jacks tied the game at one in the bottom of the fifth when Garrett Goetz through the left side and advanced to second on a wild pitch. After a walk, Kyle Cullen laid down the perfect squeeze bunt to plate Goetz and tied the game.

Lamar answered with a solo run to take a 2-1 lead in the next half-inning. The one run would be enough to earn the game one win.

Cullen and Adrian Minjares each went 2-for-4 in the game. Richter scattered nine hits in seven innings of work while striking out five.

Game 2

Lamar took control of game two early with two runs in the first and seven runs in the second inning to lead 9-0 after two.

The 'Jacks got on the scoreboard in the third inning when Dillon Eatman launched a two-run home run over the left center field fence to cut the deficit down to 9-2 after three innings.

Lamar responded with runs in back-to-back innings, tacking on three in the fourth inning and two in the fifth to take a 14-2 lead.

Cameron Craw trimmed the deficit down to 14-3 with a solo blast over the left-center field fence in the bottom of the fifth. Neither team would score again, with Lamar picking up the win after seven innings.

The two teams will complete the three-game series Sunday after at 1 p.m.
