Dallas Baptist 8, Seattle U 4DALLAS, Texas--(DBU Media Relations) For five innings, the story of the night for Dallas Baptist (19-15, 6-4) was their starting pitcher, Jake Johansen. The Allen, Texas, product was nearly unhittable for the first half of the game and allowed the Patriot offense to stake him to an early seven run lead on their way to an 8-4 win over conference rival Seattle (11-21, 2-7). Six different Patriots had multi-hit games, led by Nash Knight with three safeties and Justin Wall with four RBI, as the Patriot offense pounded out fifteen hits on the evening.
The Patriots opened the scoring in the second when Duncan McAlpine and Austin Listi led off the inning with singles and Knight doubled down the rightfield line to pick up an early RBI. They would add four runs to that cushion in the fourth and two more in the fifth. In the fourth, Justin Wall had a three-run homerun and KJ Alexander a solo shot. The Patriots strung together three hits in the fifth and scored the pair of runs on an RBI fielder's choice by Wall and an infield single by Knight to push the lead to 7-0 through five innings.
