AUSTIN, Texas - After losing Friday’s series-opening game 8-4, the Texas Wesleyan baseball team swept Saturday’s doubleheader in convincing fashion, defeating Huston Tillotson 9-1 and 10-4. Wesleyan now stands at 21-18-1 on the season, and 9-9 in Red River Conference play.

Game 1: Andy Hughes had a rare tough day on the mound for Wesleyan, giving up eight runs on 14 hits as Huston Tillotson scored early and often. On offense, Wesleyan pounded out 13 hits, but could only push across four runs. Billy Eaton doubled and tripled, Cole Henry added a triple and Travis Clifford hit a home run, but Huston Tillotson scored twice in each of the first two innings, once in the third, and three times in the fifth to clinch the win.

Game 2: Shea Harrison got the call to start Saturday’s first game and provided just what the Rams needed. He threw a complete game four-hitter, needing just 69 pitches to get through all seven innings. The Ram offense also showed dramatic and immediate improvement from the day before, posting seven runs in the first inning. Andy Hughes doubled and Nathan Murrell went deep for two of Wesleyan’s 13 hits, and the Rams won easily, 9-1.

Game 3: Billy Eaton and Derek Armstrong both hit home runs, as Wesleyan scored a pair of runs in each of the first five innings, cruising to a 10-4 victory. Brad Shiller got the start and pitched well in his three innings. Eric Casias and Seth Manning each chipped in to limit Huston Tillotson to seven hits in the game. The Rams, who had nine hits in the game, were helped out by three Huston Tillotson errors.
