GCU Baseball Splits with Hilo; Wins Series 3-1

The Grand Canyon University baseball team split a doubleheader with Hawai’i Hilo today at Brazell Stadium in Phoenix, Ariz., winning 23-2 in the opener and dropping the nightcap 4-3.
The Antelopes’ overall record now stands at 15-16 overall, 12-12 in the Pacific West Conference. Hilo is now 6-23 overall, 3-17 in the league.
“The weekend as whole was good,” said head coach Andy Stankiewicz. “Anytime you can take three of four in baseball it’s a good thing. If you can do this in every series you play you will put yourself into the postseason. The guys stuck to our game plan and took what they gave us in the first three games of this series. The flip side was game four. We allowed them to jump on us quickly by not playing fundamentally sound baseball in the first inning. That cost us the game. We made a run at them in the end, but fell just short.”
The Antelopes came out swinging in the first game scoring 23 runs on 27 hits. The ‘Lopes scored two runs in the first, seven in the second, four in the third, six in the fourth and four in the sixth inning.
Jackie Samora led the offensive attack in the opener, going 4-for-6 with four RBI and three runs scored. Joey Bristyan also had four hits during game, with two RBI and three runs scored.
For the second straight day, Ernesto Ortiz posted a four RBI game, going 3-for-3 with two runs scored. Derek Mendoza and Nick Chapman each had three hits.
Justin Lindsey (5-3) started and recorded the win. He went 6.0 innings, allowing one run on four hits. Lindsey had six strikeouts. Austin Buelow picked up a save, tossing three innings in relief. He allowed only one run on five hits.
Hawai’i Hilo scored all of their second game runs in the first inning, plating four on three hits.
GCU answered with two runs in the second inning on a fielder’s choice RBI groundout by Ortiz and a RBI single from Aaron Mees.
Trevor Santor led off the third inning with a single and scored on a RBI single from Mendoza to cut the deficit to 4-3.
The ‘Lopes put the leadoff runner onboard in the sixth and had two runners on base with one out in the seventh, but were unable to push the tying run across the plate.
Coley Bruns (0-2) was charged with the loss in game two. He allowed four runs on five hits over 3.2 innings. Cody Repenning tossed 2.1 scoreless innings in relief. Mark Jarrett pitched the seventh and struck out the side.
The Antelopes remain home next weekend and will host Hawai’i Pacific for doubleheaders on March 30 and 31. Friday’s twinbill at Brazell Stadium will begin at 4 p.m.
