Baseball Winless in Bethany

Baseball Winless in Bethany- Wil Teague, Sports Information Director, 3/23/34

Game Three:

Crowley's Ridge: 1

Southwestern Christian- 2

Bethany, OK- In game three, the Pioneers trusted senior southpaw Andrew Brown to take the mound and get the Pioneers back on track, but excruciatingly for CRC, their search for a win came up inches short as SCU claimed game three, 2-1. Brown shoved all 6.0 innings for the Pioneers, allowing just four hits from the Eagles' offense, but the hosting team took the contest by getting one run across the plate in the bottom of the first and sixth innings compared to CRC's lone run in the seventh. CRC challenged the Eagles in the top of the seventh as the Pioneers put themselves in a great position by loading the bases with one out but fell short as Chance Arender's ground-out to short would bring in CRC's only run. Southwestern Christian's pitching remained dominant as they allowed just three Pioneer hits for the second game in a row. Brylan Honeycutt, Trey Drake, and Adonis Thomas claimed CRC's hits. 

Game Four:

Crowley's Ridge- 3

Southwestern Christian- 15

Bethany, OK- SCU completed the series sweep against Crowey's Ridge as they claimed the final game with a twelve-run differential. The Pioneers generated their highest offensive performance by coaxing out a weekend-high seven hits on which they scored three runs. Catcher Matthew Parker led the Pioneers going (2-3) with one RBI with Andrew Brown smashing his fourth homer of the year and driving in the other two Pioneer runs. JackHenry Glasgow took the loss as the junior allowed nine runs on four hits in 1.1 innings.
