Jackets Sweep Doubleheader at McMurry, Win Series

ABILENE, Texas – LeTourneau University's baseball team swept a doubleheader at McMurry Saturday, 5-1 and 8-7.
 
It is LETU's second American Southwest Conference series win of the season. The YellowJackets improved to 7-10 overall, 5-4 in the ASC. McMurry fell to 2-11, 1-8.
 
Jackets starter Kolbey Sharpe went the distance in the first game, giving up an unearned run on two hits and two walks, while striking out two to notch his second win of the season.
 
The YellowJackets built a 3-0 lead through three innings. Weston McKinley tripled in the second inning to score Bryce Brueggemeyer. Lane Williams' run-scoring single to center made it 2-0 later that inning. Brueggemeyer drove in a run in the third.
 
The War Hawks scored on an error in the fifth to pull within 3-1. But in the Jackets' next at-bat, Kyle Maysonave doubled to left to drive in McKinley, and Ethan Wood's RBI single scored Maysonave.
 
McKinley was 2-for-2 with a walk and an RBI. Dane Jones went 2-for-4.
 
In the second game, LeTourneau overcame a six-run deficit when the YellowJackets rallied for seven runs over the sixth, seventh and eighth innings. McKinley crushed a three-run homer in the sixth to pull the Jackets within 7-4. Noah Arellano's RBI groundout, and Brueggemeyer's RBI double to left cut it to 7-6 in the seventh. Williams tripled, and then scored on a passed ball to tie it in the eighth. David Pugh doubled, stole third, and then scored on a passed ball for the gamewinning run.
 
Brueggemeyer was 3-for-5. Arellano and Dane Jones each had a hit and an RBI. Williams was 1-for-3. Maysonave was 1-for-5. Pugh went 1-for-4. Chaz Jackson went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base.
Austin Bryan picked up the win in relief, going 4.1 innings, allowing no runs on three hits, two walks and four strikeouts. Jones got the final two outs to earn the save.
 
McMurry threatened in the ninth when Caleb Shaw was hit by a pitch, and advanced to third on a wild pitch. After Javier Rosa walked to load the bases, Shaw was cut down on the base path to end the game.
 
LeTourneau will host Hardin-Simmons Friday and Saturday.
