TLU sweeps baseball doubleheader, takes SCAC series from Schreiner



SEGUIN, Texas -- The Texas Lutheran Bulldogs bounced back from a disappointing loss Thursday to post 7-1 and 11-1 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference wins Friday over the Schreiner Mountaineers.

At TLU's Katt-Isbel Field, the Bulldogs' turn-around began with starting pitching. Junior right-hander Aaron Aleman (Corpus Christi/Incarnate Word Academy) spun a complete-game four-hitter in the early game, and senior right-hander Kellen McGriff (Humble/Humble) tossed seven scoreless and allowed only two hits in the late game.

Aleman moved his pitching mark to 7-2 and lowered his ERA to 2.66. McGriff improved to 5-2 and lowered his ERA to 3.61. Aleman won his 20th game as a Bulldog and put his TLU career record at 20-9. McGriff moved his career record to 18-7.

Aleman struck out eight and walked two in his start, and McGriff struck out one, walked two and forced Schreiner into 12 ground-outs.

The Bulldogs, in a battle with Centenary (La.) for the No. 2 seed in the upcoming SCAC Tournament, improved to 25-15 overall and 11-7 in the SCAC. Schreiner fell to 15-25 overall and 6-12 in the SCAC.

Centenary, at 10-5 in the SCAC, needs two wins in Shreveport, La. over No. 3/9-ranked Trinity to clinch the No. 2 seed. The Gents and the Tigers play one game Friday and a doubleheader Saturday.

TLU's next games will come in the 2014 SCAC Baseball Championship, set for May 2-4 at Trinity University in San Antonio. Schreiner finished out of the top four in the SCAC standings and did not qualify for the SCAC post-season.

In the 7-1 win on Friday, the Bulldogs took an early 4-0 lead after three innings. Three of the four runs were unearned. Schreiner committed four errors in the early-game loss and three more in the late game.

Derek Kanas (New Braunfels/Canyon) doubled, went 2-for-4, scored two runs and drove in a run in the opener. Danny Brauckman (Austin/McNeil) belted a two-run triple and scored a run.

In the late game, TLU opened a 6-0 lead by the end of the third. The Bulldogs started the game triple-single-triple-single in scoring three runs in the bottom of the first.

TLU ended the game by the 10-run rule in the eighth inning. Van Wilhelm (Houston/Waltrip) drew the walk-off walk in the eighth.

Christian DeBlanc (Kingwood/Kingwood) delivered a 4-for-4 performance with three RBI, and Kanas and Mason Briscoe (Needville/Needville) each registered a pair of hits.

Eleven different Bulldogs recorded hits in the late game. The team finished with 16 hits and did not register a strikeout.
