Baseball Drops Series Finale to McMurry

SEGUIN, Texas -- Texas Lutheran Baseball dropped the series finale to No. 22/18 McMurry, 15-6, on Sunday at Katt-Isbel Field. The Bulldogs (5-1, 2-1 SCAC) won their first SCAC series of the season despite dropping the Sunday finale.

McMurry jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the third and put the game away with a combined 12 runs across the fifth and sixth innings.

Despite TLU taking a 1-0 lead in the second inning on a sacrifice fly from Cole Cravens (Round Rock/Round Rock), neither team recorded a hit until one out in the third. McMurry scored three runs on one hit in the third with starter Triston McGowan (Vidor/Vidor) stranding the bases loaded to avoid further damage. McGowan pitched 3 2/3 innings and allowed three earned runs on one hit and six walks.

The War Hawks added six runs in the fifth to go up 9-1 before a Chase Bourgeois (League City/Clear Falls) got a run back in the bottom of the inning with an RBI ground out to give McMurry a 9-2 lead through five innings. Six more runs crossed the plate in the sixth to push the lead to 15-2 as the War Hawks threatened to run-rule the Bulldogs on their home field.

The Bulldogs got four runs back in the bottom of the sixth to avoid the run-rule and cut the lead to 15-6. A pair of singles to start the inning set up a pair of RBI singles from Cooper Jen (Kyle/Hays) and Cole Cravens. Aiden Spires (Fort Worth/Arlington Heights) cleared the bases with a two-RBI triple to produce the final runs of the game from either team.

Texas Lutheran travels to Houston to face St. Thomas in a three-game series at Reckling Park, home of the Rice Owls. The series opener is scheduled for 6 PM on Friday, Feb. 20. The entire three-game series will be streamed on FloCollege. All streaming and live stats links can be found on tlubulldogs.com.
