PORTALES, NM — Phil Clabaugh, head baseball coach at Eastern New Mexico University, began his college baseball career as a freshman in 1969-70 at what was then Panhandle State College. Thirty years later, in his career as a college head coach, Clabaugh returned to the same field in Goodwell, Okla., Mar. 14, and won his 300th game.

The milestone victory came in the first game of a double-header against Oklahoma Panhandle State University. The Greyhounds won the game 4-3, and went on to sweep the double-header with an 18-0 victory in the second game.

ENMU won the first game by scoring two runs in the top of the seventh inning to break a 2-2 tie. Clabaugh, whose career is in its 13th season overall and 9th season at ENMU, concluded the double-header with 301 career wins. He has won 205 games at ENMU.

In college, he played two seasons at Panhandle State, before finishing his college career at the University of Oklahoma and at Northwestern Oklahoma State University.
