Westerners' Baseball Sputtering Through 10 Games

Westerners' Baseball Sputtering Through 10 Games

The Western Texas College baseball team has faced a challenging start to the season with a record of 4-6 after 10 games. The team's offense has shown promise, scoring 55 runs, but their pitching struggles have led to conceding 82 runs, resulting in a team ERA of 8.86.

In games where the Westerners manage to score 5 or more runs, they have a positive record of 3-1, indicating that their success is closely tied to offensive production. Freshman Coleman Biggs has been a standout contributor, driving in 10 runs, while Quinn Johnson has contributed 7 RBIs.

The pitching highlight for the Westerners has been sophomore Isaac Herrera, who boasts a solid 2.79 ERA over 9.2 innings. Herrera has shown consistency in preventing multiple runners on base per inning.

Despite the challenging start, the Westerners have reason for optimism with several batters boasting averages above .350. As the team looks to improve, they have an upcoming matchup against Wayland Baptist, followed by a weekend series against Cisco College in Snyder. With ample time left in the season, the Westerners are determined to turn the tide and strive for success.
