Lopes allow 6 in 1st, split midweek with UNM for 4th straight year
The Grand Canyon baseball team fell victim to a crooked first inning and dropped a Wednesday afternoon contest 7-3 to New Mexico at GCU Ballpark. The Lopes and Lobos split a midweek series for the fourth consecutive season.
GCU surrendered six first-inning runs to New Mexico. Despite outscoring the Lobos 3-1 the rest of the way, the Lopes could not recover from the early deficit.
Lopes freshman pitcher Cal Lambert rebounded from the difficult first inning to retire 10 consecutively and make it through four innings of work in his first career start.
GCU posted single tallies in the second, fifth and sixth innings but could not draw closer than the four-run final margin.
The Lopes got on the scoreboard in the second after sophomore C.J. Schauwecker grounded out to first base. New Mexico's first baseman tossed the ball back to the pitcher's mound, figuring it was the third out of the inning. Junior outfielder Nate Gawelko used the errant throw to score from third base and get GCU on the board.
In the fifth inning, senior infielder Dane Stankiewicz drew a one-out hit by pitch and later scored on an RBI fielder's choice by junior outfielder Brock Burton.
The game's final run scored in the sixth inning when junior Dominic Grissom hit his fourth home run of the season to left field on a 1-0 count in a pinch-hit appearance.
GCU had more opportunities to chip away at the deficit, but a third-inning rally featuring back-to-back walks was interrupted by a runner caught stealing, and a leadoff hit batsman in the fourth was followed by three consecutive strikeouts.
Junior utility man Juan Colato continued his run as one of GCU's most consistent hitters, logging another multi-hit performance to raise his batting average to .345.
Nick Hull, Coen Wynne and Zach Barnes continued to add to the gaudy numbers of the Lopes' bullpen this season. The trio combined to toss five innings of three-hit scoreless baseball.
GCU's five-game homestand continues with a three-game series against Pacific beginning on Friday night at 6 p.m.
