Matos Hits Second Homer in Otherwise Tough Series with USAO
April 4, 2026
GOODWELL, Okla. The Oklahoma Panhandle State baseball team (11-24, 3-17 SAC) was on the wrong end of three lopsided defeats Friday and Saturday at Carroll Gribble Field as it dropped the series by scores of 18-4, 19-3 and 23-5 to Science & Arts (14-18, 9-11).
Game 1:USAO put its stamp on the Friday doubleheader early, quickly building an insurmountable cushion.
Pitcher Timmy Trevino closed the game on the mound for the Aggies with two scoreless innings, and the home team's offense showed signs of life late. Devin Lopez homered in the fourth inning, while Michael Perry and Danny Martinez drove in runs in the seventh on base hits.
Game 2:The Drovers put up five crooked numbers in the middle game of the series, again wasting no time putting the contest away.
OPSU's runs came courtesy of homers off the bats of Neugyen Culmer and Philip Matos, plus an RBI single by Andrew Valencia. Juan Perez led the Aggies with two hits in the nightcap.
Game 3: Saturday's single game was more of the same as the Drovers had their way from the start and cruised to a 23-2 lead after five innings.
Highlights for the Aggies included a third-inning sacrifice fly from Lopez and a fourth-inning home run by Matos. Matos' solo homer to left-center was his second of the series and fifth on the season.
OPSU also scored three times in the sixth frame on the back of four singles one each from Zoilo Pimentel, Matos, Israel Gandara and Kobe Morgan.
On the mound, Bryan Montano pitched 1.1 innings without allowing an earned run.
What'sup next:Panhandle State plays its final midweek games of the season when it travels to Woodward, Oklahoma, on Tuesday for a doubleheader versus Southern Nazarene University.
