Senior Catcher Hits .500 in 3-2 Week for Greyhounds

LUBBOCK, TX – Eastern New Mexico University senior catcher Dallas McMann (6-1, 215 lbs., Amarillo, TX/Randall HS) has been selected Lone Star Conference South Division Hitter-of-the-Week. ENMU went 3-2 during the week, including 2-1 in LSC South games against West Texas A&M University.

ENMU opened the week with a 5-4 win over Lubbock Christian University, Mar. 31 at Greyhound Field. The Hounds lost at Wayland Baptist University, 19-9, on Apr. 1, after allowing 10 runs in the second inning. Eastern also dropped a 17-8 decision to WTAMU in the first game of their LSC South series, Apr. 4, after giving up nine runs in the fifth. ENMU gradually took control of the series, as the Greyhounds defeated the Buffaloes, 10-7, in the second game and slipped past WTAMU, 4-3, in the final game.

McMann, who earned a .500 batting average (9 of 18) during the week, recorded at least one hit and one run in all five games. He hit a solo home run against Wayland Baptist, and was 4 for 4 with a homer and a double in the first game of Eastern’s three-game series with WTAMU. He pounded out a triple in the final game between ENMU and West Texas.

He scored eight runs and registered three RBIs during the week. He walked three times, was hit by one pitch and achieved one stolen base. McMann’s performance allowed him to improve his team-leading batting average .369. He also leads the Greyhounds in runs (39), hits (55), doubles (16), home runs (8), RBIs (24) and slugging percentage (.664).

ENMU improved to 10-32 on the season and to 3-15 in the LSC South. The Greyhounds, who have struggled in close games, are 2-10 in one-run games and 3-15 in games decided by two runs or less. McMann helped Eastern register both of its one-run victories last week.
