MONROE, La. -- The Sam Houston State baseball team's weekend struggles continued with a doubleheader sweep at the hands of Louisiana-Monroe Saturday at Warhawk Field.
The Bearkats were shut out, 6-0, in game one and fell 7-5 in game two. Starting pitchers Andrew Godail and Sam Odom were both credited with losses in the two games, dropping each of their records to 0-2.
Godail, the senior left-hander, pitched seven innings and allowed five runs on eight hits. He struck out nine batters and issued just one walk. ULM's game-one starter Alex Hermeling tossed a four-hit complete-game shutout with four strikeouts.
Odom lasted just 4 1/3 innings and allowed five runs on five hits while the Warhawk starter Brandon Bell pitched seven strong innings and picked up the win.
Right fielder Travis Lee had his 14-game hitting streak snapped in the second game of the doubleheader. He was one of the four Kats to have a hit in the first game but couldn't manage one in the second. Lee reached on a walk and scored a run.
The Kats jumped out to a 3-0 lead and had a 4-2 lead going to the bottom of the fifth inning. ULM scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth to take a 5-4 lead.
Shortstop Miles Manning was 3-for-5 with two runs scored and one RBI after he went 2-for-2 in the second game. First baseman Spence Rahm was the only other SHSU player to have more than one hit.
The series finale will be played Sunday at 11:00 a.m.
