REDLANDS, Calif. – The University of Redlands baseball team (3-1) completed their opening weekend 3-1 after a 14-8 loss to No. 22 McMurry University at The Yard.

The Bulldogs fell behind 4-0 after two and half but in the bottom of the third they quickly reclaimed the lead, 5-4.

The inning began with a ground out before Nevan Namgoong, who singled to right, was one of two runners on base. Luke Hanson, Tyler Barsness, Tanner Gerosa, and Nate Miller all followed with walks which brought home two runs.

Following a foul out, Jesse Bullard found open grass in left field and with two outs, and the War Hawk outfielder having to make a long run, all three of Barsness, Gerosa, and Miller were able to score for a rare three-run single.

Redlands then tacked on three more runs in the fourth. Namgoong reached base once again after being hit by a pitch. He made it all the way to third during Hanson's at bat as he stole second and went to third on a wild pitch. He would take the final 90 feet on an RBI ground out by Hanson.

The final two runs came off the bat of Miller who crushed a two-run home run over the wall in left center.

In the fourth game in less than 48 hours, the Bulldogs' pitching started to faulter in the fifth as the War Hawks scored three runs to draw within one despite only posting one hit.

McMurry then put the game away with a six-run sixth inning.

Gerosa had two walks and two runs scored. Miller and Bullard each had three RBI. Namgoong reached three times and stole a base.

On the mound Tate Keddington and Nolan Espinosa threw 2.1 scoreless innings after 13 runs had scored after 5.2.

Redlands makes the trip north to Tacoma, Washington for a four-game series with the University of Puget Sound February 13-15.
