Baseball Swept By William Woods
Erik Holth, CBC Sports Information Director
Fulton, Mo. – Looking to salvage a game in their American Midwest Conference series this weekend, Central Baptist College baseball was at Owl Field this afternoon for the series finale against William Woods. CBC (17-19, 4-8 AMC) fell behind early and couldn't recover, falling 13-5 to WWU (22-11, 9-3 AMC).
Jay French made history again, after becoming just the third player in program history to record 200 hits for his career yesterday, he set a new single game stolen base record, stealing six of CBC's eight bases this afternoon. He now has extended his single-season stolen base record to 39 on the year.
GAME FLOW
WWU was up 9-0 after four innings before CBC tallied four runs in the fifth to cut the deficit in half. French drove in the first run of the game with an RBI single and that was followed two batters later by Logan Easterling's three-run home run, his 12th of the season. The Owls would add two in the fifth and one in the sixth to make the deficit 13-4 before Easterling doubled in the seventh to bring the score to 13-5.
UP NEXT
The Mustangs began a five-game homestand on Tuesday afternoon when they welcome Crowley's Ridge to Burns Park for a doubleheader. First pitch is scheduled for noon.
