The hunt for a championship is getting more and more real for the Texas A&M University- Kingsville (TAMUK) Javelina baseball team. The Javelinas sent their seniors out with a series sweep in their final home series at Nolan Ryan Field. With high expectations they\u2019ve been riding on since last season the Javelinas hosted Eastern New Mexico at home for a four-game series headed into the conference showdown.
\nWhen asked about the series graduate assistant coach Christian Caudle said, \u201cIt was a good weekend for the team especially the seniors. A few of these guys are walking out of here with records and have set a standard for this program for the younger guys.
\n\u201cWe have to keep this momentum as a team going for the postseason now and look to make another run this year.\u201d
\nInfielder for the Javelinas Giancarlo Servin has stepped into a big role this season at the plate; batting with a solid average of .359.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re not so much worried about Eastern New Mexico.
\n\u201cWe just need to do our job as a team and take care of business. They\u2019re a team that\u2019s down right now and I expect us to come out and play some good baseball.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s a big weekend going into the conference tournament and it\u2019ll be good for us to have some momentum going into next week,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re just going to take it one game at a time. We have a good team and we\u2019re looking to get going at the right time.
\n\u201cI just look to keep doing what I\u2019ve been doing all season and that\u2019s put together good at-bats and play good defense.\u201d
\nThe Javelinas swept Eastern New Mexico winning all their games by scores of 4-0, 4-3, 6-2 and 10-6.
\nThis was a great pre-tournament tune-up series for the Javelinas as they get ready to battle for the conference title.
\nThe Javelinas made it all the way to the Division II College World Series last season and they are hoping to make it back and maybe take their run a step further this 2019 campaign.
\nThe Javelinas will be facing Tarleton State in the first round of the Lonestar Conference tournament on May 9 , the exact time is yet to be announced. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
