ROSEBURG, Ore. - The Linn-Benton baseball team dropped the first game of their doubleheader against Umpqua Community College, before rallying for a win in the second contest. The Roadrunners (22-4, 14-4 NWAC South) fell 9-2 then took home a 3-2 victory in the second game of the day.
Game 1: The host Riverhawks (17-7, 13-5 NWAC South) jumped out early, scoring five runs in the first six innings while keeping the Roadrunners offense in check. Linn-Benton fell behind 6-0 but looked to get a rally started in the top of the sixth inning as a Jack Lussier RBI double scored Bryant Starr, followed by a Landon Lea RBI single scoring Lussier.
The Riverhawks were able to add onto their lead in the bottom of the sixth inning and came away with a 9-2 victory in the nine inning contest.
Game 2: The second game saw the visitors score first, as a ground out from Starr allowed Emmett Stacher to score and give the Roadrunners a 1-0 advantage in the second inning. A Stacher sacrifice fly in the fifth inning scored Chanz Flores and made it a 2-0 lead, but the Riverhawks would score two runs in the sixth inning to tie it up at 2-2.
An RBI single from Boston Caron scored Mark Carpenter allowing the Roadrunners to retake the lead as pitcher Dayne Castillo came on in relief for three scoreless innings as he allowed just one hit while recording the save. Cooper Yudhishthu earned the win with six strong innings.
The Roadrunners will next host the Riverhawks on Saturday, April 4 for a pair of games at Dick McClain Field. First pitch for those contests are scheduled for 1:00PM and 4:00PM, with the second contest scheduled for seven innings.
