Baseball Stymies Stormy Petrels, 14-10

ATLANTA, Ga. - Piling on 10 runs over a two inning stretch proved to be more than enough offense for the Pacific Lutheran University baseball team on Saturday afternoon, outlasting Oglethorpe University 14-10 in day two of the Lutes' tour of the Peach State. 

Austin Gormley proved to be a thorn in the Stormy Petrels' (1-5) side all day, finishing four-for-five at the plate, scoring four runs and driving in three more while Jacob Bockelie blasted in four runs.

Jordan Haworth went yard in the first inning to give the Lutes (4-2) a 2-0 advantage but Oglethorpe countered in the bottom of the first with two of its own before taking a 3-2 lead in the third. PLU piled on six in the fourth and four more in the fifth, building a 12-3 lead. King Jimenez-Cruz drew a bases loaded hit by pitch before a Gormley three-bagger scored three. A Bockelie sacrifice fly brought in another as did a wild pitch. Jimenez-Cruz had a sac fly in the fifth while Bockelie had a three-run home run later in the inning. 

The Stormy Petrels added a run in the sixth while Marques Carlson plated two in the ninth, enjoying a 14-4 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth. Oglethorpe's offense came alive in the ninth, scoring six runs before an infield popup cut short the rally and gave the Lutes' the 14-10 victory. 

Carlson and Haworth both finished with a pair of RBIs while Tori Doten and Michael Cesar both scored two runs.

Justin Tucker earned the win for the Lutes, allowing just two earned runs and striking out three in 5 2/3 innings of work while Andrew Curran and Alex Gregory combined for 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief.

"Tucker was able to grind for us today and he got better as the game went on," said Head Coach Nolan Soete. "We had a good day offensively. Gormley, Haworth, and Bockelie led the way. We need to play better defensively, but it was a good team win."

The Lutes close out the Georgia trip tomorrow at 12 p.m. (Eastern Time), facing Piedmont College in a game that has been relocated to Emerson, Georgia due to field conditions and the threat of inclement weather.
