Nick Hernandez added to a career weekend on Sunday, swatting two more home runs while picking up four RBI in a doubleheader against Eastern New Mexico.  Hernandez finished the four-game set 10-for-17, four home runs, nine RBI, and six runs scored.  The junior raised his batting average to .441 on the season.
 
Game one started for the Falcons with a solo home run by Hernandez in the second inning.  He continued to carry the offense with an RBI-single in the third, bringing home Michael Clapperton.  Hernandez finished off game one with another solo blast to left.  He went 4-for-5 but it wasn't enough as the Falcons fell 7-3.
 
He stayed hot in game two with a single to center field scoring Garrett Thornton.  The offense added two more on a two-run blast off the bat of Peyton Koopman.  It was too late as the Greyhounds spread their offense, scoring in five innings, also taking it 7-3. 
 
Jake Rohde was stellar out of the bullpen, tossing 3.1 scoreless innings and striking out three.  Tyler Stone struck out five in just 2.2 innings.  Luis Dominguez, Ed O'Bannon III, JD Martinez, Andre Leyva, and Torren Brozovich allowed just three earned runs over seven innings in the second game.
