Saturday Recap

EVANSVILLE, Ind.  – The Bulldog Baseball team made a statement on Sunday as they swept a doubleheader against #6 Southern Indiana to take the first three games of their four-game series. Truman won the opener 14-5 and the nightcap 7-1. Truman will look for the sweep on Monday at noon.
 
The Bulldog offense was on fire hitting .375 on the day with Brendan Trimble (.625), Paul Trenhaile (.556) and Jarod Hahn (.500) each collecting five hits between the two games. Truman slugged 27 hits and scored 21 runs against the defending national champions.
 
Game 1 Recap: A 10-run, nine-hit outburst by the Bulldog offense propelled them to a 14-5 victory in the opener. Paul Trenhaile went 4-for-4 on the game with two RBIs and Brendan Trimble and Jarod Hahn each collected three hits in the 17-hit performance by Truman.
 
Hahn was 3-for-5 with 3 RBIs and three runs scored and Trimble added two RBIs with a double and run scored.
 
The Bulldogs jumped on top in the first scoring twice with a walk and three straight singles to start things off. Dave Gambino's infield single scored Zak Larkin and Blake Deaton hit into a double play that plated Hahn.
 
The Screaming Eagles got a run back in the second on a sacrifice bunt but Truman then exploded in the top half of the third inning.
 
T.J. Wood led things off with a double and was moved up on a sac bunt by Larkin. Three straight singles scored a second run in the inning and when Deaton was drilled by a pitch to load the bases, USI went to the bullpen.
 
Trimble greeted T.J. Decker with a two-run double to right center. Joey Gardner later reached on a fielding error which compounded problems for USI. Wood singled in Trimble for another run followed by Larkin's RBI single and Hahn's two RBI double to left. Trenhaile closed the inning's scoring with a single down the third base line.
 
Southern Indiana fought back with the first six batters in the bottom of the third all reaching. The Screaming Eagles sent 10 to the plate with four scoring but left the bases loaded with a pair of fly outs to right field.
 
Neither team dented the scoreboard in the fourth inning while Truman added insurance runs with a sac fly by Trenhaile in the fifth and a Gardner single up the middle scoring Deaton in the sixth.
 
Cody Gardner moved to 3-0 on the season pitching six innings and striking out six batters while Peter Young finished it off with a one-hit, shutout seventh.
 
Trent Gunn for USI was 3-for-3 at the dish but starter Tyler Nichols fell to 0-2 allowing six earned runs in two and a third innings pitched.
 
Game 2 Recap: The reigning GLVC Pitcher of the Week, Kent Frantz, did not disappoint in his first start since earning the award last Monday. Frantz allowed just one run on four hits as the 'Dogs swept Sunday's twinbill by a 7-1 score. Frantz pitched the complete game earning his third win of the season and struck out seven in the process.
 
Truman struck first turning a leadoff walk into a 2-0 lead in the second. Blake Deaton drew the walk and Brendan Trimble followed with a base hit up the middle. Both advanced on a wild pitch. Chris Illiopoulos grounded into a fielder's choice that scored Deaton. 
 
Illiopoulos scored as the Bulldogs used their speed forcing an errant throw when T.J. Wood took second and the catcher's throw went wild.
 
USI got a run back in the bottom of the second on an infield single and error putting the leadoff batter at second base. Tyler Mikrut singled to right center closing the gap to 2-1 but was retired by Wyatt Fones trying to steal second then Frantz fanned Sam Griggs to end the inning.
 
The Bulldogs added a third run in the third with Trimble singling in Dave Gambino.
 
It stayed 3-1 until the seventh when Paul Trenhaile broke things open. T.J. Wood singled and stole second and took third on a wild throw then came in on a single by Zak Larkin. Jarod Hahn got a base hit through the right side followed by Trenhaile's first home run of the season, a three-run shot to left center.
 
The Screaming Eagles went quietly in the seventh, 1-2-3 for Frantz to earn the win.
 
Trimble and Wood were each 2-for-4 on the game.
