The Oklahoma Panhandle State baseball team (11-24, 3-17 SAC) was on the wrong end of a pair of lopsided defeats Friday at Carroll Gribble Field as it dropped the first two games of the series, 18-4 and 19-3, to Science & Arts (14-18, 9-11).

Why it matters

Panhandle State has struggled this season, with a 11-24 overall record and 3-17 mark in Sooner Athletic Conference play. The team is looking to turn things around, but the back-to-back blowout losses to USAO are a setback in that effort.

The details

Despite the tough results, Panhandle State outfielder Matos did provide a bright spot by hitting his second home run of the season in the series. However, the Aggies' offense proved too much, as they scored a combined 37 runs across the two games.
