• Hector Limon blasts his second-career grand slam in the first game of a doubleheader at New Mexico State in 1986. The four-run homer is not enough, as the Chaps fall 8-7.
• In a game with a final score that belongs more on the gridiron, Lubbock Christian takes down Oklahoma Baptist 27-17 in 2003.
• No.19 LCU rallied from a 10-0 deficit and never led until Wayland Baptist University walked Brent Leslie with the bases loaded on a 3-2 pitch in the bottom of the ninth to walk in the winning run to give LCU a 17-16 victory in a crazy Sooner Athletic Conference contest at Hays Field. Ryan Meade led the Chaps with a 4-for-6 performance at the plate with seven RBI.
• Another football score game occurred in 2010 as LCU beat Southern Nazarene 27-16, clubbing a school record nine home runs. The two teams combined for 47 hits and 15 home runs in the game.
