Â
ACU (26-25, 14-14 WAC) touched up SHSU (29-23, 19-9 WAC) starter Matt Dillard for six runs in the second frame, capping it with a 3-run homer by Grayson Tatrow and kept the Kats at bay behind 5.0 strong innings from its own starter, Tyler Morgan.
Â
Despite the loss, the Kats still own a 1-game lead over Lamar for the top spot in the Southwest Division and could clinch the division title and a top seed in the upcoming WAC Tournament as early as Friday with a win over the Wildcats and a Cardinal loss to Tarleton.
Â
Carlos Contreras drove in his 89th run of the season in the game, while Walker Janek had a pair of hits and two RBI as well.
Â
Game 2 of the series is set for Friday night beginning at 6:30 p.m. at Don Sanders Stadium.
