Crusaders End Roadtrip With a Win After Rough Weekend

SHREVEPORT, Louisiana – After a tough start to the weekend, the University of Dallas baseball team closed strong with a 10-6 win over Centenary to avoid the sweep. The Crusaders (8-25, 8-22 SCAC) struggled to get going in the first two games but responded in the finale with an explosive offensive performance.

G1 | Centenary 14, UDallas 2
Centenary came out hot in the series opener, limiting Dallas to just three hits in a 14-2 loss. Despite the tough outing, the Crusaders got RBIs from Dylan Goddard and Tyler Espinosa, while Owen Edwards and Jordan Escamilla each chipped in with a hit and a run. A combination of four pitchers worked the mound for Dallas but couldn't slow down the Centenary offense.

G2 | Centenary 14, UDallas 1
Game two followed a similar pattern, with Centenary once again holding the Crusaders to minimal scoring. Caleb Hohman provided the lone highlight with a solo home run, going 1-for-2 with a walk and run scored. Luke Gill collected two hits, and Dylan Goddard added one of his own, but the offense couldn't keep pace in another 14-run outing by Centenary.

G3 | UDallas 10, Centenary 6
The Crusaders flipped the script in the series finale, putting up 11 hits and 10 runs to secure a much-needed win. Caleb Hohman (1-for-3, HR, 3 RBI, 2 R) and Luke Gill (2-for-5, HR, 3 RBI, 2 R) both went deep, leading the offensive charge. Caleb Mize added three hits and an RBI, while Reed Morales (2-for-3, 2 R) and Tyler Espinosa (1-for-3, RBI) provided key contributions. On the mound, the pitching trio of Tito Ramos, Lucas Aguirre, and Keller Shamburger combined to hold off Centenary and preserve the win.
