Only two weekends remain in the Lone Star Conference baseball regular season.
 
Angelo State (35-7 overall, 33-7 LSC) maintained a one-game lead in the standings over UT Tyler (33-9, 32-8 LSC) as both teams recorded a conference series sweep last weekend. The Rams took four games from West Texas A&M and the Patriots did the same against Sul Ross State.
 
SEU (31-15, 30-14 LSC) is in third place, while Eastern New Mexico, Lubbock Christian, St. Mary’s and West Texas A&M are all tied fourth place with 24-16 conference records. Texas A&M-Kingsville is just two games out of one of the top seven spots that will result in an LSC tournament berth.
 
This week’s conference games are scheduled for Thursday (April 17), Friday (April 18) and Saturday (April 19). The final week will return to the Friday (April 25), Saturday (April 26) and Sunday (April 27) format.

HITTER
Ethan Flodstrom, Angelo State, DH, Sr., Business Management, Port Angeles, Wash.
Angelo State senior designated hitter Ethan Flodstrom batted .588 (10-for-17) with four home runs, three doubles and 10 RBI to lead top-ranked Angelo State to a conference road series sweep of West Texas A&M. Flodstrom also scored nine runs and walked three times. He had at least two hits in each game. In the series-clinching Game 3, Flodstrom hit two home runs – one being a grand slam. His play helped ASU to their first sweep of WT since 2016 and first on the road since 2006.
 
PITCHER
Adrian Rubio, Eastern New Mexico, RHP, Sr., Criminal Justice, El Paso, Texas
Eastern New Mexico senior right-hander Adrian Rubio came out of the bullpen to throw six shutout innings with five strikeouts and earn the win in the conference series opener against Lubbock Christian. Rubio allowed just two hits – one in the sixth inning and the other in the seventh – of the 6-5, 11-inning game. He faced the minimum number of batters over the last three innings. It was Rubio’s sixth win in relief this season. His performance helped the Greyhounds secure their first series split against LCU in program history.
