Bucs Swept By Ouachita Baptist, Lose Finale, 13-9

Box Score

Arkadelphia, AR –
The Christian Brothers University Buccaneer baseball team scored six runs in the fifth and sixth innings and three in the ninth, but couldn't overcome an early deficit and fell to Ouachita Baptist, 13-9.

CBU (12-23, 0-15 GSC) gave up five runs in the bottom of the third, but answered with five of their own in the top of the fifth.

Brian DeJean singled down the left field line to start the fifth inning. Wes Hoover hit his second home run of the weekend for the inning's first two runs. Blake Christian singled to right center, and Shane Hogan reached on an error. Andrew Griffy singled through the left side loading the bases. Mark Foster singled to left field scoring Christian and Michael St. Cin walked in Hogan. John Raymond Hehn then hit a sacrifice fly to centerfield scoring Griffy.

OBU (17-18, 4-7 GSC) used a six-run seventh to pull ahead.

The Bucs scored one run in the sixth when Griffy singled home Hoover. They would score three in the ninth, but left two runners on to end the game. St. Cin was hit by a pitch to start the ninth. Hehn singled moving St. Cin to second. Both runners moved up on a wild pitch, before DeJean drove both of them in with a double to left center. Graham Harrison hit a sacrifice fly to centerfield scoring DeJean, but that would be as close as CBU would get.

DeJean went 3-5 scoring twice and driving in two, while Hoover drove in two, scored twice and hit his second home run of the weekend. Griffy and Christian had two hits each.

The Bucs will be back in action this week playing two non-conference games starting with a 2 p.m. start against Freed-Hardeman on Tuesday, April 5. They host Union at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, April 6.
