The #10 Midland College Chaparrals baseball team split their WJCAC opening series versus rival Odessa College over the weekend.  Games one and two were played in Odessa at Wrangler Field, with games three and four moving to Christensen Stadium in Midland.  The series split moved the Chaps to 18-4 overall and 2-2 in conference.  

In Friday's first game the Chaps were led by AJ Velarde's 3-4 at the plate with a triple and one RBI.  MC's Jason Berglund recorded the win while Aiden Cline picked up the save in the Chaps' 7-6 win.  Game two on Friday continued Velarde's torrid hitting with the freshman third baseman, again, going 3-4 with a double and a triple.  Midland's Caleb Boswell was 2-3 at the plate and Stevyn Andrachick also going 2-3 with two triples and three RBI.  The Chaps lost Friday's second game 7-6 at Odessa.  

On Saturday, the Chaps struggled offensively managing four hits in a 5-1 loss to the Wranglers.  Midland's lone bright spot was Dylon Myrow's 3-3 at the plate.  In the Saturday finale, Midland College displayed what they had showed in previous games this season.  MC hitters came alive in the 9-3 win.  Josh Wulfert went 2-4, including two doubles and one RBI.  Caleb Boswell and Luke Wheatley each went 2-4 as well.  Chaps freshman Jorge Gil smacked a three-run homerun in the contest.  Sophomore pitcher Ryan Marton recorded the win to improve to 3-0 this season.  Marton struckout 10 OC hitters.  

The Chaparrals travel to El Paso for a four game conference series versus the EPCC Tejanos on Saturday, March 15th and Sunday, March 16th.  The games were postponed from Friday/Saturday to Saturday/Sunday due to forecasted excessive high winds on Thursday and Friday in El Paso. 

The games will be played at EPCC's Valle Verde Campus, Eisenga Field.
