Scorpions Sweep Doubleheader from Doane College, 4-3, 7-2

Baseball - 2:00 p.m. Saturday, January 28, 2012

Saturday was a good day for Scorpion baseball.


Juan Munoz and Brad Regehr came through in the clutch with run-scoring hits in the first game and Adam Vera turned in an outstanding complete game pitching performance in the second game to pace UTB/TSC to a 4-3, 7-2 doubleheader sweep over Doane College (Neb.) Saturday at Scorpion Field.


"Overall, it was an outstanding weekend by our pitching staff," Scorpion head coach Bryan Aughney said. "They threw great in all four games. You can't ask for anything more than that. Even in the one we lost, Marcos (de Leon) gave up three unearned runs."


The first three games between the Scorpions and Tigers, both of whom received votes in the NAIA Coaches' Top 25 poll, were one-run games. UTB/TSC won the opener Thursday, 1-0, and Doane won Friday's game, 3-2.  Saturday's second game was a one-run game until the sixth inning, when the Scorpions broke the game open.


"We played very clean defensively all weekend," Aughney said. "We made a couple of errors here and there, but they didn't cost us. Offensively, we got things going in the final game and scored some runs. Doane is a very good team and has very good pitching. It was well-played baseball. We're excited to come out of there 3-1. We have some work to do and we understand that, and we're ready to get after it and get on with the season."


Scorpions 7, Tigers 2 (second game)


In seven innings, Vera's numbers were solid. He allowed four hits, struck out two and walked two. But what really stood out was his pitch count. He needed only 79 pitches in the seven innings, throwing 55 strikes and 24 balls. He threw only six pitches in the second inning, five pitches in the third inning, and six pitches in the sixth inning.


UTB/TSC broke open a tight 3-2 game with four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. Colby Henscey and Ricardo Alanis had run-scoring hits, and Robert J. Garza was hit by pitch with the bases loaded to score another run. Munoz added a sacrifice fly for the final run.


Doane scored once in the first to take a 1-0 lead before the Scorpions scored twice in the third and once in the fourth to take a 3-1 lead. The Tigers cut the margin to 3-2 in the fifth before the sixth-inning outburst.


[b]Colby Henscey[/b] led the Scorpions with a 3-for-3 day, and walked in his other plate appearance. He also drove in two runs, as did Zach Cordia and Munoz.  Kyle Douglass and Scott Frazier each scored twice.

[b]Colby Henscey[/b] went 2-for-3, including a two-run homer that cleared the 50-foot-high net in left field. Joel Fernandez also had a solo homer for the first Scorpion run in the second inning. [b]Henscey[/b], Zach Cordia, K.J. Semien and Fernandez each had two hits. Matt Ginn had two RBI on a two-run single.

This Henscey kid seems like he knows how to hit.  ;)
Really glad for him....Colby has had some really bad luck and adversity dealing with "freak" injuries since graduating high school.
