LCSC stretches win streak to 22 with sweep of Concordia

 3-26-08

LEWISTON, Idaho – Ricky Reavis hit Lewis-Clark State College's first grand-slam home run of the season and Kyle Greene continued with his monstrous two weeks and drove in four runs to help the Warriors sweep a doubleheader from Concordia University 15-3 and 9-4 on Wednesday. 

The Warriors, ranked No. 1 in the NAIA with a 28-2 record, stretched their win streak to 22 straight with the sweep. 

The only bad thing to happen to LCSC on the day was that its 17-game streak of collecting 10 or more hits ended when the Warriors finished with nine in the second game. LCSC more than made up for it in the opener with 21 hits, its second-highest total of the season. 

Reavis broke open the first game with his grand slam in the third inning as the Warriors jumped out to a 9-0 lead and cruised from there. It was the only home run of the day for LCSC and was the team's 25th this season. 

Greene, who has had a monster two weeks, finished the day with two hits and four RBI, doing most of his damage in the second game when he drove in three runs. In his last 13 games, Green is 25-of-44 at the plate (.568) with 27 RBI and 19 runs scored. Of those 25 hits, 13 have been for extra bases with seven doubles and six home runs. 

Warrior ace Matt Fitts also had a solid outing in the opener to improve to 5-0 on the season. The junior right-hander went the distance and allowed four hits and three runs, but struck out nine. 

In the opener, Ikaika Lester's double drove in a run in the first, while Paul Martin singled in a pair in the second to make it 3-0. A double, a single and a walk loaded the bases, and Rivera greeted Concordia reliever Dylan Smith with his first home run of the season. Greene added an RBI sacrifice fly, while Lester also singled in a run during the inning. 

Nic Benton's RBI triple made it 10-0 in the fourth. It went to 12-0 in the sixth on Kyle Douglas' RBI double and an RBI groundout by Brian Bollwit. 

Concordia, which is from Portland, finally got on the board in the seventh and added two more in the eighth, but the Warriors counted with three in the bottom of the eighth for the final. Thomas Lees had an RBI sacrifice fly in the inning, while Zach Adam and Armando Reyes added RBI singles. 

Reavis finished the game 3-for-3 with four RBI and four runs scored. Five other Warriors added two hits apiece. Only one of the 17 LCSC batters in the game failed to finish without an RBI or a hit. 

In the second game, the Warriors found themselves down 2-0 in the first inning when LCSC starter Ryan Woods ran into immediate trouble. He walked three of the first five batters to force in a run and then gave up a bases-loaded single before getting out of the jam. 

The Warriors, who collected only two hits through the first four innings, didn't get on the board until the fifth when they scored four times for a 4-2 lead. Martin was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to force in the first run, while Greene added a sacrifice fly. Lester drove in the final two with a single. 

The Warriors made it 7-2 in the sixth on a two-run double by Greene, and after Concordia countered with two in the top of the seventh, the Warriors countered with two in the eighth. Sean Halton had a sacrifice fly RBI, while Travis Georgius added an RBI double. 

Three Warrior pitchers hit five batters in the game. Woods picked up the win to go to 4-0. He pitched five innings and allowed four hits and two runs. He also walked three and struck out seven. Justin Mace went the next three innings and allowed three hits and two runs. He walked one and struck out three. Dustin Willis pitched a hitless ninth. 

Martin drove in two runs and finished the doubleheader 1-for-5 at the plate, but with five runs scored and four RBI. Lester went 3-for-6 with four RBI, driving in two runs in each game. 

The Warriors were originally scheduled to head to Klamath Falls, Ore., to face Oregon Tech in doubleheaders this weekend, but the four-game series has been cancelled. LCSC's next action is now Friday, April 4 when it starts a three-game series at Dixie State in St. George, Utah.
