YellowJackets Explode in Game 2 of Split with HSU

Rubber game set for 10 a.m. Saturday

LONGVIEW – Jared Schurig pitched six strong innings, and his offense delivered as LeTourneau's baseball team won the second game of a doubleheader with Hardin-Simmons Friday, 13-2.
 
The YellowJackets dropped the first game, 3-1, despite another solid outing from starter Kolbey Sharpe.
 
LETU (8-11, 6-5 American Southwest Conference) will meet HSU (5-12, 2-9) in the rubber game of the three-game series 10 a.m. Saturday at Conrad-Vernon Field.
 
Schurig (2-2) went six innings, scattering six hits, and allowing a run and a walk, while striking out six in the win. Kolton Eberlan worked the final three innings, giving up four hits, a run, no walks, and had three strikeouts to pick up his second save of the year.
 
Bryce Brueggemeyer went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a triple and an RBI in Game 2. Weston McKinley was 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and four RBI. Noah Arellano was 2-for-4 with a solo homer. It was the second straight weekend McKinley homered. He and Arellano both have three dingers this year.
 
The Jackets scored five runs to chase HSU Game 2 starter Kadin Croak (1-1) in the first inning. Brueggemeyer doubled to right center to drive in a run. McKinley followed with a two-bagger to left center to score two more. Cody Stanley and Chaz Jackson had RBI singles to left. LeTourneau extended its lead to 8-0 in the second when Arellano homered to left, and McKinley ripped a two-run shot to left center two batters later.
 
HSU picked up a run in the top of the sixth before LETU tacked on two more in its half of the inning. With the bases loaded, Brueggemeyer stole home during a failed run-down play where all the Jackets runners advanced. McKinley then scored on a wild pitch. That made it 10-1. The Cowboys scored a run in the seventh, but the YellowJackets answered again in the eighth. David Pugh scored on a balk. Noe Balderas ripped an RBI single to left, and Lane Williams had an infield single that scored Stanley.
 
The Jackets pounded a season-high 17 hits. Jackson was 2-for-5 with an RBI. Cole Thompson had two hits in three plate appearances. Kameron Lindsey was 1-for-3.
 
In the first game, Sharpe (2-2) went the distance, allowing four hits, one earned run and a walk, while striking out a season-high eight batters. Hardin-Simmons' John Clift worked the first 3.1 innings, giving up four hits, a run and a walk. Grant Mitzelfelt tossed the final inning of shutout relief to earn the save.
 
Stanley was 2-for-2. Austin Smith, Anthony Ybarra and McKinley all went 1-for-3.
 
The Cowboys scored a pair of unearned runs in the first to take a 2-0 lead. LETU's Kyle Maysonave walked with the bases loaded to cut it 2-1 in the fourth. HSU added a run in the fourth when Sharpe got Nate Blachowicz to ground into a double play.

LeTourneau stranded seven runners in the opener.

The 13 runs in the nightcap was a season-high for the YellowJackets.
