With 30 mile-per-hour winds blowing the ball around the ballpark, Abilene Christian and Houston Baptist combined to score 43 runs in one of the more memorable games of the season. The ACU Wildcats put up 20 runs, but despite a seven-run comeback attempt in the ninth, the Huskies held on to preserve the 23-20 win. Gave up the late TD, but hung on to win by a FG. 4 hr game, 11 homeruns — HBU Baseball (@HBUHuskiesBSB) Here are some of the mind-boggling numbers from last night's box score. 4 -- RBI for Koby Claborn. The pinch-hitter had one at-bat. It came in the bottom of the ninth and was a grand slam. 6 -- The most RBI by a player on the night. Two HBU players actually achieved the feat, as Spencer Halloran and Matt Heck each drove in six runs. 10 -- Amount of runs each starting pitcher surrendered before getting pulled. Abilene Christian starter Brock Barger allowed 10 runs (only eight earned) in five innings while Zach Carter of HBU allowed 10 runs (all earned) in 6.2 innings.
