FIVE RUN EIGHTH GIVES WBU THE WIN (http://www.wbu.edu/c/c01a04/news.htm)

Pioneer catcher B.J. Myers's (Bridge City) three-run homer highlighted a five-run eighth inning in WBU's 11-8 win over Eastern New Mexico at Wilder Field on Monday in front of over 700 raucous guests from Thunderbird and Edgemere Elementary Schools.

Down 8-6, Matt Knobbe led the eighth off with a triple.  Bobby Curtis walked to set up Myers, who hammered the 1-0 pitch over the left centerfield wall.  Jonathan Reynoso later doubled down the left field line to score two more runs.

Mario Canales got the win, pitching the final two innings.  Darren Davis, who started the game for the Pioneers, struck out six in his three innings of work, increasing his record-breaking season strikeout total to 106.

Myers ended up with a team-high four RBI in Wayland's 21st victory of the season.  Brett Cook had a game-high three hits, including a solo home run.  Armando Garza and Johnathan Torres also went yard for the Pioneers, who had 15 hits, but committed four errors leading to four unearned runs by ENMU.

WBU closes out the regular season this week with an important three-game series against Lubbock Christian University, beginning Thursday evening at Wilder Field.  The series moves to Lubbock on Friday, then ends on Saturday back in Plainview for Senior Day.  All three games will begin at 6:30.
