PINEVILLE, La. – With post season implications on the line for both teams, the East Texas Baptist University baseball team dropped a double header to Louisiana College, 3-2, and 7-3, ending their hope of hosting the American Southwest Conference Tournament. ETBU ends the regular season 28-12 and is 17-7 in the ASC finishing in third place. ETBU will now travel to Austin, Texas, for the tournament hosted by Concordia-Texas.
 
Game one was a tightly contested affair that ended with LC holding on to a 3-2 win. Zach Gartner had two hits on the game while both Landen Barns and Brady Faulkner had a RBI. Alan Underwood suffered his first loss by pitching 5.2 innings allowing three runs on six hits. Dylan Keller led LC with two hits while Deauton Delgado pitch six innings to get the win while allowing two runs. 
 
LC carried the momentum into game two where they took a 7-3 win over ETBU. Ford Spigener was ETBU's top hitter with three hits while Dylan Sumpter drove in all three ETBU runs on two hits. Adrian Stover took the loss as he would only last two innings allowing four runs on six hits. 
 
Game 1 - LC 3, ETBU 2
 
The Tigers started things with an RBI fielder's choice from Barns in the top of the first inning. LC though would get a run in each of the first two innings to go ahead 2-2. Underwood would then keep the score the same with three more scoreless innings. 
 
In the fifth inning, ETBU tied the ballgame with a sacrifice fly to left from Faulkner. But LC would score the go-ahead run in the sixth inning on a single to right on a close call at home plate. ETBU had a leadoff walk to Seth Mikeska but they were unable to drive him in as LC recorded the last three outs to secure the win.
 
Game 2 - LC 7, ETBU 3
 
Sumpter took the first pitch of the game deep to right field for a solo shot giving ETBU the early 1-0 lead. But the Wildcats responded with two in the bottom half to lead 2-1. ETBU knotted the game at two with an RBI single from Sumpter. LC would then score three runs over the next two innings to lead 5-2 after three innings.
 
While ETBU's bullpen kept LC off the scoreboard from the fourth to sixth innings, the offense was held in check. The Wildcats would then break the game open with two more runs in the seventh inning. ETBU could only bring in one in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Sumpter.
 
ETBU will now head out to Austin, Texas, next week for the ASC Tournament as the #3 seed hosted by #2 seed Concordia University (TX).
