MARSHALL, Texas -- First baseman
Adam Peavy (Houston/Memorial) smacked a go-ahead two-run home run in the eighth as No. 11 Texas Lutheran rallied to a win a 13-12 slugfest over #RV Mary Hardin-Baylor Saturday afternoon to close the ETBU Spring Classic at Tiger Ballpark at Woods Field in Marshall.
The Bulldogs (17-6) overcame a pair of deficits, trailing the Crusaders (16-7) by as many as five runs in their largest comeback victory of the year.
Texas Lutheran scored six times over the final three innings, capping off the comeback in an explosive fashion.
The senior's home run marked his fourth of the season, all of which have come on the road. Peavy's homer was one of six between the two teams in the contest.
The 6-foot-four slugger finished 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, two RBI, and three runs scored.
In the victory, designated hitter
Kadyn Hall (La Grange/La Grange) delivered a career day. The senior launched a two-run homer in the second and finished with a career-best three RBI.
Aiden Spires (Fort Worth/Arlington Heights) also had three RBI on the afternoon.
Of the Bulldogs' 14 hits, seven were extra base hits with TLU tallying five doubles in addition to their two homers.
Following Peavy's heroics, right-hander
