ALPINE, Texas -- A strong offensive effort powered the Texas Lutheran baseball team to a 10-9 victory over Sul Ross State - completing the series sweep at Kokernot Field on Saturday. With the win, the Bulldogs improve to 5-6 on the season.

True freshman Isai Campos (Alice/Alice) got the start on the mound for the Bulldogs working two shutout innings in a game that saw the Bulldogs cycle through six pitchers on the afternoon. Keene Kreusler (New Braunfels/New Braunfels) picked up the first win of his career in relief. Blake Cappadona (Mont Belvieu/Barbers Hill) picked up the save, his first of the season.

Payton Dahl (Round Rock/Cedar Ridge) jumpstarted the TLU offense in the top of the second with an RBI single. The Bulldogs would tack on another run in the third to take a 2-0 lead.

Sul Ross State got on the board in the fourth tying the game at two.

Tyler Post (San Antonio/Johnson) made it 4-2 with a two-RBI double in the fifth.

Sul Ross State would respond with a three-run home run in the bottom of the sixth to take a 5-4 lead.

A Holden Philippus (San Antonio/San Antonio Christian) solo home run in the seventh and two more runs in the eighth put TLU on top 7-5.

Sul Ross mounted a comeback in the bottom of the eighth, scoring four runs to take a 9-7 lead into the ninth inning.

TLU would respond with three runs in the top of the ninth. Randy Huerta (New Braunfels/New Braunfels) started the rally following an inning opening single from Philippus with an RBI triple. A sacrifice fly from Tyler Post would tie the game 9-9, before an RBI single from Aric Vasquez (San Antonio/Brandeis) would cross the game winning run. Cappadona would enter the game for the Bulldogs in the ninth - throwing a hitless inning to secure the save.
