LCSC rolls past Corban 12-1

 

3-15-08

MCMINNVILLE, Ore. - Travis Georgius and Kyle Greene combined to drive in seven runs and the Lewis-Clark State College baseball team received another big lift from a first-time starter in rolling to a 12-1 victory over Corban College at Linfield on Saturday. 

Junior right-hander Ryan Woods, who was expected to be the Warriors' closer, started his first game at LCSC this season and pitched five strong innings, allowing just one hit to improve to 3-0 on the season. He did walk four, but struck out five. 

Georgius finished with a game-high four RBI as he went 2-for-6 in the game with a run scored. 

Greene continued to tear up Corban pitching during the three-game series sweep. He went 2-for-2 with three RBI and two runs scored on Saturday to finish the series by going 8-for-11 with five doubles, six runs scored and six RBI. 

The victory improves LCSC, ranked No. 1 in the NAIA, to 21-2 on the season and stretches its win streak to 15.  Corban falls to 5-11. 

LCSC outscored Corban 39-12 in the three-game sweep, and along with its three-game sweep of College of Idaho earlier in the week, the Warriors outscored their opponents 73-16 in the six games.

As they have all week in the six-game road trip, the Warriors jumped out to the early lead with four runs in the first inning. LCSC has scored 45 runs in the first inning this season, the most in any inning it has batted in.

Brent Wyatt opened the game with a walk and Paul Martin was hit by a pitch. After an error moved up both runners, Greene drove in both with a single to left. Kepa Wong then singled Greene to third and both scored on a two-run double by Georgius.

The Warriors added two more in the fourth when Wyatt tripled and Martin was again hit by a pitch. Josh Ashenbrenner also was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Greene's sacrifice fly to left scored Wyatt, and Brian Ward added an RBI single to left to score Martin.

LCSC, which left the bases loaded in the second and fifth without scoring, made it 8-0 in the sixth with two more runs. Greene started the rally with a double and Georgius smacked a two-run home run to left field. It was the sophomore catcher's first home run of the season.

The Warriors stretched the lead to 9-0 in the seventh when Brian Bollwitt and Chris Valencia singled, and Mike Rivera added a one-out RBI double.

Corban's lone run came in the eighth inning when Jamie McGraw singled and scored on a two-out double by Craig Spicer.

LCSC's final three runs came in the ninth on an RBI single by Chris Lum, an RBI double from Kepa Wong, and a passed ball.

Kevin Camacho relieved Woods to start the sixth inning for LCSC and he pitched three innings. He allowed six hits and one run, but struck out three. Brian Bird pitched the final inning and struck out two.

The Warriors now play their next seven games at home, starting with a four-game series against the University of British Columbia at 6 p.m. on Friday. The two also play a 1 p.m. doubleheader on Saturday and a noon game on Easter Sunday. LCSC then will play host to Concordia for a three-game series with a single game at 6 p.m. on March 25, and then a 1 p.m. doubleheader on March 26.
