Lubbock, Texas -- The Mid-America Christian Evangels rallied for four runs in the seventh inning to defeat the No. 5-ranked Lubbock Christian Chaps 10-9 in the first game of a doubleheader Friday afternoon (Mar. 25) in Lubbock, Texas.  The Chaps then got even with the Evangels in the second game with a 25-1 win. 

The Evangels trailed 9-5 heading to the sixth of the opener when Adrian Bravo-Carmona homered to make it a three-run game. 

In the seventh, the first two Evangels reached base to set up Luis Martinez' game-tying three-run homer. 

An RBI single by Jon Jon Lemos then scored pinch runner David Wynn for the go-ahead score. 

The Chaps didn't go quietly in the ninth and put the tying run on third base and the potential winning run on second with only one out against reliever Maximiliano Lopez. 

After an intentional walk to load the bases, Lopez induced a game-ending double play to pick up his third save of the season for the Evangels. 

Bravo-Carmona and Lemos also homered and combined for seven RBI for the Evangels. 

Derek Allen came on in relief of starter Ivan Juvera and pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings to get the win. 

The fifth-ranked Chaps jumped all over the Evangels in the nightcap with nine runs in the first and then exploded for a whopping 14 in the third. 

Eridani Dume singled home David Rhoads in the top of the third for the Evangels' only tally of the game. 

Ryan Meade powered the Chaps in the second with two homers and nine RBI.  Mike Marshall and Richard Bohlken also homered twice for the Chaps. 

Tyler Curtis got the win with five innings pitched and six strikeouts. 

MACU and LCU will play the rubber game of the series tomorrow afternoon (Mar. 26) at 1 p.m.
