Batesville, Ark. – Looking to salvage a game in their first road American Midwest Conference series of the year, Central Baptist College baseball was at Fred Wann Field this afternoon for a doubleheader against Lyon. CBC (17-15, 4-5 AMC) could not generate enough offense to keep up with Lyon (21-14, 6-3 AMC) as they fell in both ends of the doubleheader 22-8 and 9-4.
The Mustangs combined for 19 hits in the doubleheader, but allowed Lyon to have 32 of their own. Logan Easterling hit the lone Mustang home run of the day in game one while Jay French went 4-4 in game two to put himself within three hits of becoming the third player in program history to crack the 200 hits plateau.
GAME TWO – LYON 22, CBC 8 (SEVEN INNINGS)
CBC would jump out quickly in the first game of the day, scoring three in the first and three in the second to lead 6-0 after an inning and a half. Austin Teal started the scoring in the first with a two-run triple and Graham Dykes drove him in with an RBI single to make it 3-0 in the first. Easterling's home run, a three-run shot, was his 10th of the season and made it 6-0. Unfortunately, CBC would allow seven runs to cross the plate in the second inning and trail 7-6 before a Lyon error helped the game return to a tie at 7-7 in the third. Lyon would blow the game open in the fourth, tallying three in the inning and they would plate nine more in the fifth to lead 19-7 after five. A run-scoring double play for the Mustangs made it 19-8 in the sixth before Lyon added the final three.
GAME THREE – LYON 9, CBC 4
The final game of the series was the closest game and saw CBC score first again, something they did in each game. An RBI single by Ruben Hernandez made it 1-0 in the first before the Scots tied it at one in the second. A wild pitch would put CBC back in front, 2-1, in the third, but CBC allowed five runs in the third to trail 6-2 after three and the Scots tacked on three more in the eighth to enlarge the deficit to 9-2. RBI singles from French and Steven Stewart in the ninth brought the score to its final margin.
