Antelopes off to best start since 1989 season
PHOENIX-Ben Menke (Scottsdale, AZ/Coronado HS) went 5 for 5 with three runs scored, as the Grand Canyon University baseball completed a four-game series sweep with an 11-3 victory over Eastern Mexico at Brazell Stadium on Sunday.
Canyon (4-0) is off to its best start since the 1989, when a Tim Salmon-led squad won its first 10 games.
The Greyhounds (0-4) took a brief lead in the second on Tyke Posey' s solo homer to left.
The 'Lopes came back with two of their own in the bottom half of the inning, the first coming on Menke's run-scoring double.
Canyon began pulling away in the third with four more runs. Ronnie Holtorf (Phoenix, AZ/Moon Valley HS) closed out the scoring in the inning with a two-run homer, his first of the season.
Also homering for the 'Lopes were Jon Hamel (Scottsdale, AZ/Horizon HS) and Buddy Critchett (Phoenix, AZ/Mountain Pointe HS). Hamel went 10 for 17 (.588) for the four games, while Critchett went 3 for 4 in the series finale.
Bill Curtis (Grand Rapids, Ml/Forest Hills Northern HS) went five innings to pick up his first victory, while Eastern' s Tim King (0-1) lost.
