| FORT WORTH, Texas - Texas Wesleyan
(30-18-1, 14-9 RRAC) pounded out 24 hits on the day, sweeping a
conference doubleheader against the Bulldogs of Jarvis Christian
College on Monday. David Hinson and Chris Bayuk each threw a complete
game for the Rams, giving up 10 hits and one run between them as
Wesleyan won 10-0 and 8-1.
Jeremy Craft powered the offense in game one with
a double and a pair of triples , and Matt Putman also tripled -
driving in the ninth run and scoring the tenth - as the Rams won
the game 10-0 in a game shortened to five innings due to the ten-run
mercy rule.
Wesleyan took command early, scoring four runs
in the first inning and another three in the second. Starter David
Hinson shut the door from there, allowing just four hits in a complete
game shutout, his first of the season.
In the second contest, the Rams scored single runs
in each of the first two innings to take a small lead, then blew
open the game in the fourth, scoring six times on 5 hits and two
walks. Billy Eaton homered, despite a strong wind blowing in from
left field, to help the cause. Cole Henry added a triple, and Anthony
Bolivar, Andy Hughes, and Travis Clifford all hit doubles for the
Rams, who scored eight times on 13 hits to win by seven.
Chris Bayuk gave up one run in the seven-inning
complete game, allowing six hits while striking out five.
The Rams, who are undefeated in their last 12 games
and who have won 18 of their last 22, improve to 30-18-1 on the
season, and are now 14-9 in Red River Conference play. They will
conclude the series against Jarvis Christian on Tuesday at 3:30
