Goodwell, Okla—Panhandle Baseball earned a landslide victory in their home opener over Friends University on Feb. 5, taking the win 14-1 in seven innings.

Both teams went scoreless through the first and Panhandle would put its first two runs on the board in the bottom of the second off a sac-fly from Jaylon Burnett and an RBI single from Jarrod Vaught. The Aggies kept the momentum going in the bottom of the fourth, leading off with Burnett reaching on a walk and he would score on a roped RBI-double to center from Gerson Padilla. Vaught stepped up with a single, advancing Padilla to third. Vaught would steal second and Payton Rhodes was sent to first on a hit-by-pitch to load the bases. Luis Rodriguez doubled to deep center, scoring two runs, and back-to-back sac-flys from Jared Mayeda and Jack Aydelotte plated two more, putting the Aggies up 7-0 at the end of the inning. Anthony Munoz and the defense kept the Falcons to just one hit through three innings pitched and Garrison Armstrong would take the bump for the Aggies in relief.

The Falcons added their first run in the top of the fifth with an RBI triple, but Armstrong was able to get the Aggies out of a bases loaded situation to allow only the single run. Panhandle added four more runs in the bottom of the inning, leading off with Burnett who doubled to left center and would come in to score off a triple from Bradley Ruiz. An RBI single from Vaught and a 2-RBI single from Rodriguez to deep center would take the score 11-1, in favor of the Aggies.

The streak continued through the sixth, with the Aggies plating two more runs off another RBI single from Vaught and a 2-RBI double from Rhodes. Jeremy Norris entered to close on the mound and kept the Falcons scoreless through the end of the seventh to give the Aggies the win, 14-1.
