GEORGETOWN, TEXAS - Pirate Baseball (5-5) was back in action Friday night against the LeTourneau YellowJackets (5-7). The Pirates extend their win streak to three games against two different opponents, having defeated DeSales twice earlier in the week. In a low-scoring game where the wind at Rockwell Family Field played a significant factor, the Pirates were able to come away with two runs in the bottom of the sixth, giving them a 2-0 lead they would sustain for the rest of the game. The pitching duo of Carson Brown and Greg Ferguson shut out the YellowJackets for the first time this season.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Carson Brown went 7.1 innings for a total of 122 pitches, 76 strikes, and seven strikeouts.
- Greg Ferguson closed the game out with five strikeouts on just thirty pitches and eight batters faced.
- Maxwell Mims and James Vaquero combined for two RBIs at the bottom of the sixth to ensure the Pirates' lead and victory.
NOTES
- Alexander Cannata recorded a solo double play in the top of the first inning.

- The last shutout the Pirates gained was against the University of Dallas on March 19th, 2023
