Hannibal, Mo. – After splitting the first two games of their American Midwest Conference series, Central Baptist College baseball was back at Nichols Field today against the Hannibal-LaGrange Trojans looking to take the series. CBC (16-21, 4-8 AMC) led the whole way until the ninth inning, when HLGU (3-23, 2-10 AMC) tied the game before sending the Mustangs home with a 10-9 defeat.
Gabe Walker got the scoring started in the first inning with an RBI single to make it 1-0 and Kyle Bass added a solo home run, his first of the season, to make it 2-0 in the second. The lead was cut in half in the fourth before Austin Teal brought in a run with a groundout to make it 3-1 in the fifth. HLGU added a run in the bottom of the fifth and Ruben Hernandez drove in a run with a groundout in the sixth to make it 4-2. Teal extended the lead to 6-2 in the seventh with a two-run single and HLGU made it 6-3 in the bottom half. Eighth inning sac flies by Luke McBride and Nick Aide made it 8-3 before HLGU made it 8-6 in the bottom half. A.J. Serrano's seventh sac fly of the season made it 9-6 in the ninth before Hannibal homered to tie the game in the bottom half then walked off the game with a double in the 10th.
