Cal Lutheran came from in both contests of Saturday's doubleheader against the University of Dallas, using late offensive surges and some solid performances out of the bullpen to come away with 10-3 and 7-5 victories. The Kingsmen (16-1, 8-1 SCIAC) tallied 27 hits over the two games, scoring 17 runs as the consistent CLU offense made up for some sloppy defensive play. Ryan Probst enjoyed a solid day at the plate, going 4-for-9 with five RBI over the two contests. Tanner Wright held down the leadoff spot with his 4-for-7 day, racking up three RBI and three RBI.
No. 22 Shenandoah ushered in its 2020 ODAC slate Saturday by sweeping a doubleheader from Emory & Henry. Shenandoah (9-1, 2-0 ODAC) downed the Wasps (5-8, 0-2) by 15-0 and 7-2 scores. A five-run first proved to be all that sophomore Carson Kulina (1-0) would need in the shutout victory. Kulina struck out six and scattered just two hits in 6.0 innings of work before turning it over to Reeves Lowry to start the seventh. E&H took the early lead with two runs on two hits and one SU error in the second, but the Hornets settled in and knotted the game with two runs in the fourth. SU took the lead for good in the fifth with three runs on four hits and one Wasps error. Thompson had what proved to be the game-winning RBI with a bases loaded single through the left side that brought Blaine Hansen in from third.
No. 12 Rhodes was able to sweep their doubleheader against conference foe Hendrix. The Lynx took game one 9-1 and game two 4-3. Another strong starting pitching performance from Jacob Dubs and an explosive offensive day for Rhodes helped them to their game one victory. Dubs tossed five impressive innings, while holding the Warriors to zero hits, a lone run, and seven strikeouts as Dubs claimed his third win of the season. Game two was decided by an impressive comeback from the Lynx. The game went into extra innings before the Warriors were able to take a two-run (3-1) lead in the top of the ninth, but the Lynx still had three outs to make something happen. Wood Kimbrough led off the bottom of the ninth with a double down the right field line. McNair followed with a single to left field to bring the winning run to the plate. Penna stepped up as a hero when he smacked a walk-off big fly to left field to bring home three runs to make the Lynx 4-3 victors.
