GEORGETOWN, TEXAS - Southwestern Baseball (11-10) needed one game to complete the sweep against conference opponents St. Thomas (8-14) on Sunday, and the Pirates did just that in a game where they never trailed, taking the win from the Celts 12-7. Southwestern scored runs in six out of nine innings, including three straight innings with runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth.
HIGHLIGHTS
- James Vaquero scored three runs against the Celts and was walked four times in the game, the most walks of any game in his season.
- Christian Melillo also scored three runs, while collecting two hits and three stolen bases, his most stolen bases in a game this year.
- Alexander Cannata, Tres Organ and Ben Feuer all turned two double plays in the eighth and ninth innings.
NOTES
- Braden Simpson got the win on the mound as the second reliever to come in, throwing three strikeouts with no walks and no runs scored.
- Every member of the starting lineup scored a hit, a run, or an RBI. Six different Pirates scored, and four of those players scored multiple runs.
