Northwest Missouri State will play a 4-game series at Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma, on Februar 14 & 15, 2014. First pitch is set for 2pm on February 14th.
Series Record - First match-up between the two schools according to the 2013 Record Book.
About Cameron University - Following a 12 win season, Cameron didn't get a ton of love within the Lone Star Conference after getting picked tied for last with Eastern New Mexico.
On this year's roster the Aggies have an entire different make up with 14 new players and the addition of assistant coach Brady Huston to assist Holland on pitching. They are replacing last year's squad that finished in the bottom of the league in batting average and next to last in runs given up per game.
Adding Huston to the dugout this season will provide guidance to Aggies on the mound. After three seasons at Seminole State as pitching coach and recruiting coordinator Huston's throwers went 120-49 and he had 11 players drafted by the Major League Baseball League.
The Aggies opened their season at East Central with a double-header on Saturday at noon and Sunday at 1 pm. Cameron then headed back to Lawton for their home opener on Tuesday, February 4 at 2 pm with a single nine inning game against Southwestern Oklahoma.
Head Coach - Todd Holland. Holland is starting his second decade as head coach of the Cameron baseball team. Holland's overall record as head coach at Cameron is 282-221.
Holland was selected to succeed longtime Aggie head coach Ron Ihler in the summer of 2003 after spending the previous season as Ihler's assistant coach. He served the 2004 season as interim head coach and was officially named the head coach of the Cameron baseball team following a 2004 season which produced the Aggies' first winning season in more than a decade.
Holland rejoined the Aggie program in 2003 after spending time in uniform as a player and assistant at Cameron from 1997-99. A career .400 hitter in two seasons with the Aggies, Holland currently owns Cameron single-season school records for total hits (80) and doubles (25). As a senior with the Aggies in 1998, he hit .428 and had a slugging percentage of .743, earning second team All-South Region and first team All-Lone Star Conference honors.
In his first season as the Aggies' head coach in 2004, Holland guided Cameron to its first winning season in more than a decade, finishing with a 26-19 record while competing in the extremely competitive Lone Star Conference North Division. Five Cameron players earned all-conference honors that season, including first team All-LSC North selections Steve Clark and Allen Mitchell.

Offensively, Brad Blumer, Garrett Schaede, Jordan Climpson, and Kas Sanders all had a good double-header.

UTPB defeated CU 6-2
After getting swept on Saturday the Aggies fell 6-2 in game one but recovered to take game two 5-3.
Cameron jumped out ahead by two in the top of third the first game after CU strung together four straight hits with one out. The Aggies lead would be short-lived through after UTPB plated a run in fourth and tacked on three additional runs in the fifth scoring a run off on an illegal pitch and a two RBI double to put the Falcons ahead 4-2.
UTPB added two more insurance runs in the sixth off of a one out double.
Tobin Mateychick went 2 for 4 with a run scored; Jordan Climpson and Brad Blumer both had a hit and a RBI. Brian Schwabe started the game for CU going 4 1/3 innings, striking out seven, and giving up two unearned runs in the no-decision; Brent Hendy (0-1) was charged with the loss recording one out, while giving up two runs.

In the top of the seventh Cameron got a pair of insurance runs off a Sanders RBI single and a Tyler Palmer two out RBI single to give them a 5-0 lead.
UTPB did go down swinging in bottom of the seventh getting a pair of runs with the bases loaded but Cameron's lead would be too much to overcome from in the final inning.
