Erik Holth, CBC Sports Information Director

            Ozark, Mo. – Looking for an American Midwest Conference series sweep against Mission, Central Baptist College baseball was back at US Ballpark today for the final two games of the four game series. CBC (11-11, 9-3 AMC) split the day with MU (13-5, 8-4 AMC), winning game one 16-2 before falling 7-6 in eight innings in game two.

GAME ONE – CBC 16, MISSION 2

            Neither team scored in the first inning but CBC jumped to the lead in the second thanks to a two-run single by Julian Rodriguez and a single by Ryan Dauphinee to make it 3-0 after two. In the third, CBC put five on the scoreboard thanks to a two-run single by Garrett Fitts, a passed ball, a single by Brennan Duhe and another single by Dauphinee to make it 8-0. CBC would put up six more in the fourth on a double by Josh Lumsden, a two-run home run by Brayden Mayencourt, his second of the season, a two-run double by Rodriguez and a wild pitch. The final two runs came in the fifth inning on an error and in the sixth on a single by Aaron Prince. Mission's lone runs against Dylan Parton came in the seventh. Parton threw a complete game seven hitter and struck out seven for his second win of the season.

GAME TWO – MISSION 7, CBC 6 (EIGHT INNINGS)

            CBC jumped out to a lead again in game two, going ahead 1-0 on a single by Mayencourt. CBC added two in the third on a triple by George Astacio and a double by Dauphinee. Mission scored in the bottom of the third to make it 3-1 before CBC answered back with two in the fourth on a double by Fitts and a single by Rodriguez making the score 5-1. Mission would put CBC down 6-5 with six in the fifth before Chett McDaniel tied the score at 6-6 with a double in the sixth. The game remained that way until the eighth, when Mission walked off on a sac fly.
