LANCASTER, Texas – Dallas College Cedar Valley's baseball team split a pair of doubleheaders with Redlands Community College Friday and Saturday.
The Suns bounced back from Friday's series-opening 10-4 loss to beat the Cougars, 18-17, in eight innings in the second game. A day later, Cedar Valley won the first game, 10-6, before falling in the series finale, 18-6.
Cedar Valley (7-4) went 5-3 in its two-week, eight-game homestand.
Homar Barrea-Lopez drove in five runs in the 18-17 slugfest. The freshman outfielder from Corpus Christi, Texas, crushed a grand slam in the bottom of the sixth inning to give the Suns a 17-14 lead. After Redlands (4-15) scored three runs in the seventh to tie it, Barrea-Lopez had a walk-off RBI double in the bottom of the eighth to win it.
Hayden Carpenter had four hits, and drove in three runs in the wild win. Jordan Anguiano was 2-for-4 with three RBI and a walk. Noah Johnson had two hits, including a double, drove in three runs, and had a stolen base. Zachary Mikes was 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base.
Javier Balderas pitched the last two innings in a game the Suns used eight arms. He gave up no runs, two hits and a walk to pick up the victory.
Both teams produced 14 hits.
In Saturday's first game, Cedar Valley scored seven runs in its final two at-bats to overcome a 5-3 hole to win.
Lane Atherton went 3-for-3 with two triples and two RBI. Carpenter was 3-for-4 with a home run, double and five RBI. Jacob Cueva was 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI. Aiden Hatton had a sacrifice fly to drive in a run, walked and stole a base. Johnson was 1-for-4.
Redlands outhit Cedar Valley, 12-10.
Kyler Baker improved to 2-0 on the mound after giving up five runs on 10 hits and no walks. Hatton picked up his second save after the Cougars scored in the top of the seventh, leaving him in a bases-full jam scenario. But Hatton needed to face only two batters to preserve the win.
