Kats close homestand with loss to Lamar
4/15/2025 11:15:00 PM | Baseball
The Kats (8-29) erased the deficit of allowing a 6-run second inning with seven unanswered runs, going up 7-6 on Autrey's grand slam in the fourth and upping the lead to 9-6 on a 2-run double by Parker Blackman in the sixth; however, the Cardinals (31-8) touched the Kats up for 11 runs in the top of the seventh and easily held on from there.
Lamar's Brayden Evans homered twice and drove in seven runs for the Cardinals to aid winning pitcher Joshua Shimmin who was one of 17 combined pitchers to see time on the hill. Micky Scheetz took his first loss as a Kat, while freshman Tate Hickman turned in the best performance of any SHSU hurler with 3.0 scoreless frames and four strikeouts.
UP NEXT
The Kats will now hit the road on Thursday to open a 3-game series against DBU at Horner Ballpark. Each game is scheduled to be aired on ESPN+.
