Portales, N.M. -- In a must win situation, the Texas A&M-Kingsville baseball team got impressive pitching performances from a pair of seniors in sweeping Eastern New Mexico on the road Friday, winning 11-6 and 5-3.

   Brandon Hevner pitched a complete game in game one while Raul Trevino (Corpus Christi Incarnate Word) went 6 1/3 innings to earn the win in the nightcap.

   The wins evened the Javelinas record at 26-26 overall and 9-9 in Lone Star Conference South Division play. Eastern New Mexico fell to 19-13 overall and 4-12 in league play.

   The Javelinas are one of three teams battling for two at-large bids to next weekend's Lone Star Conference Postseason Tournament.

   The Javelinas are now 24-18 overall against LSC teams, just percentage points ahead of Southeastern Oklahoma (26-20) and behind Tarleton State (23-17).

   Hevner, starting the first game of a weekend series for the first time this season, pitched brilliantly over the final three innings, shutting down the Greyhounds without a run on two hits.  He threw an amazing 169 pitches, 103 of them for strikes to improve his record to 6-3.  He struck out six, walked two and allowed six runs on 12 hits.

   Javier Molina and Joe Hamon, the third and fourth hitters in the Javelina lineup, combined for six hits and seven runs batted in.

   Each team scored three runs in the first inning, the Hogs scoring their runs after two outs on doubles by Hamon, Taylor Everett and a single by Todd Mass.

   Eastern took a 4-3 lead until the Javelinas scored three more in the fifth and sixth innings.

   Clay Bockholt (Tuloso-Midway) drove in the first run in the fifth with a double and Hamon double to drive in two more.

   In the sixth, the Javelinas again struck after two outs.  Chase Myrick and Bockholt walked and Molina doubled to drive in a pair and Hamon followed with a run-scoring single.

   Leading 9-6, the Javelinas added insurance runs in the seventh and eighth innings on a run-scoring single by Will Alexander and another run scoring double by Molina.

    In the nightcap, Trevino allowed only six hits and two earned runs while striking out five and walking none to earn the win and improve to 7-4.

   The Javelinas scored two in the second on a two-run single by Alexander and added a third run in the fourth on a run-scoring triple by Todd Mass.

   Eastern closed the gap to 3-2 before the Javelinas scored two runs in the seventh on a two-out single by Bockholt.

   Trevino gave up a pair of one-out singles and the Javelinas brought in freshman closer Jeremy Heatley.  Heatley walked the first batter he faced to load the bases, gave up a run on a ground out and ended the game by inducing another ground out to earn his fifth save of the season.

   The two teams will close the regular season Saturday with a doubleheader.
