Mountaineers Exact Revenge on TAMIU, Split
Doubleheader
The Schreiner
mountaineers were looking for a little payback
against the Division II Texas A & M
International Dustdevils on Sunday. SU entered
the double-header with a record of 8-1; their
only loss coming at the hands of TAMIU earlier
in the month (5-15). The Dustdevils, however,
refused to cooperate with the Mountaineers
agenda and jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first
inning of game one. They added four more in the
second and Schreiner was forced to battle the
rest of the way. The Mountaineers scored in the
second and third innings to bring the score to
5-3. SU had several opportunities with runners
in scoring position during the game but just
could not convert. TAMIU took the first game,
7-4.
Schreiner came
back with a vengeance in game two as junior
pitcher, Bernard Pena, dominated TAMIU hurling
the first no-hit game of his career. Pena stuck
out four, while walking only one batter, in the
seven inning game. Schreiner bats came alive in
game two, giving Pena a 1-0 lead in the bottom
of the first and then adding 3 more runs in the
second. The Mountaineers added 3 more runs in
the fourth and closed the game out 7-0. Senior
outfielder, Jeremiah Kester, led the offensive
attack going 3-4 at the plate and scoring 3
runs.
Schreiner improves
its season record to 10-2 with the win while
TAMIU returns to Laredo with a 14-3 record. The
Mountaineers will face their first ASC opponent
this weekend as they travel to Marshall, Texas,
for a three-game series against the East Texas
Baptist University Tigers. A single nine inning
game will be played on Friday beginning at 1:00
p.m. First pitch for Saturday’s double-header
will be at noon.
