Junior Joel Eusebio had a fantastic opening weekend as the RiverHawks completed a double header sweep of #20 Central Missouri on Sunday.  Eusebio has a batting average of .750 and a slugging percentage of 1.625.  In game one, his three run led to a four run inning in an 8-6 victory.  In the nightcap, Eusebio's triple started a seven run inning as the RiverHawks held on for a 9-8 win.  He was equally as productive in the field, assisting on seven plays at third base.

LSC Pitcher

Jr., Pitcher, Folsom, Pa./Ridley
In his first career-start at Angelo State, Kenny Elkind tossed eight innings of three-hit ball for his first win, a 2-1 decision over Forth Hays State.  The lone run he surrendered was a solo shot to lead off the top of the second.  Elkind had 10 strikeouts while walking one and only two people reached third base against him.
