Hammond, LA – Indian Hills Baseball rolled to a doubleheader sweep on Thursday with a pair of road wins over Baton Rouge Community College (LA) at Southern Louisiana University. The Warriors took game one 6-1 before shutting out the Bears 3-0 in the nightcap.

The Warriors improved to 5-2 overall with the sweep and have now won three straight games. Six different pitchers made an appearance between the two games, allowing just one earned run and six hits while striking out 16 batters.

Game one saw the Warriors take a 1-0 lead in the third inning as Gerardo Villarreal (Laredo, TX/United South) singled to score Daniel Figueroa (Toa Alta, PR/Leadership Christian Academy). After the Bears tied the game in the fourth, Indian Hills broke the game open with three runs in the top of the fifth. James Dutton (Toronto, ON/Forest Hill Collegiate Institute) singled to drive in Anthony Monroy (Guarenas, Venezuela/Unidad Educativa 29 de Junio) and later scored on a two-run double from Ricardo Van Grieken (Merida, VZ/San Luis HS) as Figueroa crossed the plate as well.

Starting pitcher Jack Nelson (Zionsville, IN/Zionsville Community) cruised through five innings of work, allowing just the one earned run while striking out seven. The Warrior offense added a pair of runs in the sixth on a Merrick Mathews (Centerville, IA/Centerville) sacrifice fly and a run from Thomas Emerich (Ava, MO/Ava) on a balk.

Figueroa, Villarreal, and Dutton each collected two hits in the win. Gavin Hinckley (West Bend, WI/West Bend West) and Gercal Reyes Alvarado (Santo Domingo, DR/Fray Ramon Pane) each posted scoreless innings of relief work on the mound to preserve the win for the Warriors.

Making his second start of the year, freshman Greg Campos (Laredo, TX/United South) starred on the mound for the Warriors in game two. The righthanded hurler didn't allow a baserunner until the fourth inning and held the Bears without a hit until the fifth inning.

All three of the Warrior runs in game two came in the fourth inning as Tucker Ebest (Austin, TX/Lasa HS) scored on an error for the initial run while Noah Butler (Houston, TX/Goose Creek Memorial) drove in Van Grieken on a line drive single. Dutton scored on a wild pitch to cap the scoring in the frame.

The Warrior bullpen once again excelled on the mound as Sam Hart (Highlands Ranch, CO/ThunderRidge) tossed a scoreless sixth and Jack Payne (San Antonio, TX/Clark), this week's national pitcher of the week, picked up the save with two strikeouts in a scoreless seventh to earn his first save of the year.

Indian Hills and Baton Rouge will wrap up its weekend series with a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon. First pitch from the Baton Rouge campus is set for 1:00 PM at Pete Goldsby Field.
