LETU Splits with Millsaps, Claims Series

JACKSON, Miss. – LeTourneau's baseball team split a doubleheader at Millsaps Saturday to win the season-opening series. LeTourneau (2-1) dropped the first game, 4-2, before winning the nightcap, 6-0.

In the first game, Millsaps scored twice in the first on Fritz Walker's RBI double and Avery Brock's RBI single. The Jackets cut the lead in half when Cody Lee doubled to right in the second, scoring Weston McKinley.

The Majors tacked on two more runs in the fourth on Bailey Watkins' bunt single and Alana Merkle's sacrifice fly. That made it 4-1. LETU got one back in the fifth when Kameron Lindsey scored on a wild pitch.

But the Jackets couldn't come up with the tying runs in their last two at-bats.

Wil Wood earned the win for the Majors, allowing six hits, two runs and five walks, while fanning five. Kolton Eberlan took the loss after surrendering four runs on seven hits and a walk. He struck out three.

Will Bradshaw was 2-for-2 with two walks. Lindsey went 1-for-3 with a walk. Austin Smith and McKinley each had a hit in four plate appearances. Chaz Jackson and Lee each went 1-for-2.

In the second game, the YellowJackets scored a run in each of the first three innings. Lindsey scored on a balk in the first. Mark Sanders ripped a double to left to score McKinley in the second. Jaggar Vaughn singled home Lee in the third. Bradshaw gave LETU some late-inning insurance, scoring after an error in the seventh and on a passed ball in the ninth. Noah Mahoney's infield single in the seventh produced the fifth run.

Bradshaw was 2-for-5 with a double. Bryce Brueggemeyer went 2-for-5 with a double. McKinley was 2-for-3. Vaughn collected two hits in four trips to the plate. Sanders was 1-for-4 with an RBI.

The Jackets had 11 hits in the nightcap.

Kolbey Sharpe picked up the win, going seven innings, allowing three hits and a walk. Trey Barnhart and Bradshaw each worked an inning of scoreless relief, neither allowing a hit.

LeTourneau will play No. 3 Trinity (Texas) and La Verne next Saturday as part of the Concordia Baseball Classic in Austin, Texas.
