SHREVEPORT, La. - The Austin College baseball team dropped both halves of its Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference doubleheader at Centenary, falling 3-2 in game one and 10-4 in game two. The Gents bested Austin College 11-3 in the final game of the series on Sunday. The 'Roos are now 7-12 overall and 1-4 in conference play.

The 'Roos fell behind 1-0 in the bottom of the first in game one, and the Gents grew their lead to 2-0 in the third inning when a fielder's choice brought a run home. Austin College was able to get on the scoreboard in the top of the seventh, as Brandon Hill launched a solo homer to cut it to 2-1, but Centenary got that run back in the bottom half of the inning to make it a 3-1 game. That remained the score until the eighth, when Tino Ramirez got home on an error, but that's as close as Austin College got in their comeback bid.

Trystan Mallory took the loss for Austin College, giving up three runs on eight hits with four strikeouts and a walk in 6.0 innings of work, while Hill and RayShawn Riley each had two hits to lead the 'Roos at the plate. 

Game two saw Austin College jump out to a 2-0 lead in the first after a Jake Trapani single that brought home Ramirez and Mason Woodhouse, and Trapani came home on an error in the fifth to put Austin College on top 3-0. However, Centenary got two runs back in the bottom half of the inning and surged ahead with five runs in the sixth to make it 7-3. Riley singled home a run in the eight to cut it to a 7-4 game, but the Gents pushed three more runs across in the bottom of the eighth to make it 10-4 and that's how things would finish.

Tyler Ramage absorbed the loss in relief, giving up four runs - three earned - on four hits in 0.2 innings of action, and Trapani went 3-for-4 with two RBI to lead Austin College offensively. Ramirez, Woodhouse, and Riley each had a pair of hits for the 'Roos in the loss.

On Sunday, Centenary quickly went on top with a pair of runs in the bottom of the first, and another run came home in the second to make it a 3-0 game. Woodhouse hit a two-run single in the top of the third to make it 3-2, and in that same inning, Riley brought home Ramirez with a sacrifice fly to even things up at three runs apiece. However, that would be the last run of the game for Austin College, while Centenary put two more on the scoreboard in the fourth, one in the fifth, four in the sixth, and one last run coming in the seventh to make it 11-3 as a final score.

Trapani got the loss for Austin College, surrendering five runs on six hits in 3.1 innings of action, and Scott Hosmer went 3-for-4 to lead Austin College at the dish. Woodhouse added a 2-for-5 performance in the loss.
