Dega Sweeps DH and Series over BMC

TALLADEGA, Ala. – The second game was more of a nail-biter than the first. Still, the Talladega College baseball team banded together to sweep Friday's doubleheader over the Blue Mountain Christian University Toppers in the Southern States Athletic Conference action. The Tornadoes won the first contest 7-4 and collected a comeback 12-11 victory to close the series.
 
GAME 1 – Talladega 7, Blue Mountain Christian 4
 
BMC (21-14, 6-9 SSAC) scored first on the day when Hayden Arant scored on a wild pitch in the second inning.
 
Dega (21-10-1, 11-3 SSAC) responded grandly in the bottom of the second, thanks to a four-run homer to left field by Nomar Garcia. Rafael Diaz, Miguel Oropeza, and Jose Santiago all scored to give Talladega a 4-1 lead. Santiago pushed the lead to 6-1 in the fifth with a home run to left field for two RBIs as Joelvin Dilone touched home on the play.
 
RBIs from Arant and Easton Rainer in the sixth closed the gap to 6-3, but Andres Puello responded in the bottom of the sixth with an RBI single to center field to drive in Issac Guzman.
 
The Toppers tried for one more comeback as Austin Beech smacked a sacrifice fly to center to allow Gavin Coles to trot in from third. However, the rally ended there, and the Tornadoes secured a 7-4 victory to start the day.
 
Santiago finished the game 2-for-3 with two RBIs, two runs, a home run, and a double. Guzman posted a 2-for-3 effort with a double, while Garcia went 1-for-4, but the one was a grand slam homer for four RBIs.
 
Samuel Guadamuz (4-2) threw 5.2 innings and produced two strikeouts while allowing six hits, two earned runs, and a walk. Juan Peña pitched 1.1 innings in relief and allowed three walks, a hit, and an earned run.
 
GAME 2 – Talladega 12, Blue Mountain Christian 11
 
Alex Frillman started the second game hot and racked up four RBIs in the first two innings. The Toppers' third baseman hit a single to left center in the first inning and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Arant. Frillman blasted a two-RBI homer to center in the second to give BMC a commanding 5-0 lead.
 
Dega responded with five runs in the third, starting with an RBI single up the middle by Puello to plate Guzman. Wander Arias knocked a double down the left-field line for two RBIs to score Puello and Dilone. Darlin Fernandez scored after Armando Jackson hit a single to left field, while Arias touched home after a sacrifice fly by Jesuette Dominguez to tie the contest at 5-5.
 
BMC answered the big inning by Dega with a five-run inning by the Toppers, highlighted by the fifth RBI of the game from Frillman and a homer to right-center by Rainer for two RBIs. Rainer added an RBI double to left-center in the sixth to push the lead to 11-5.
 
The Tornadoes slowly chipped away at the lead, starting in the bottom of the sixth when Guzman hit an RBI double to drive in Dominguez. Fernandez followed with a two-RBI triple which allowed Guzman and Garcia to round the bases to cut the score to 11-7.
 
Dominguez started the scoring in the seventh with a single through the left side, which allowed Santiago to score. Dominguez later touched home after a single to right field by Diaz as Dega's comeback inched closer to reality.
 
The ninth inning featured disciplined batting by Talladega as Puello drew a bases-loaded walk as Winston Garcia scored, and Fernandez did the same thing to allow Guzman to cross home and finish the wild comeback with a 12-11 win to complete the doubleheader and series sweep.
 
Jack Wood (1-0) pitched three innings with a strikeout and no hits allowed to earn the win on the mound. Michael Gonzalez pitched three innings to start the game, and Niklas Weldon went three innings in his relief appearance in the middle innings.
 
Talladega College steps out of SSAC play Tuesday, April 4, to host Freed-Hardeman University, with the first pitch scheduled for 2 p.m.
