Monday afternoon will go down in the record books as one of the biggest wins in program history for the third-seeded Lyon College baseball team. The Scots held top-seeded Missouri Baptist to two runs and pulled out a 5-2 win to claim their first ever conference tournament championship. While the offense flourised, the pitching combination of Cole Jenkins (FR/Little Rock, Ark.), Trenton Coles (SR/Cave City, Ark.) (pictured below right) and Tyler Tognarine (JR/Cape Coral, Fla.) was the backbone to the Scots victory.
Kyle West (SO/Lewisville, Texas) had two hits and a team high three RBI, while Kylan Barnett (FR/West Palm Beach, Fla.) and Easton Moore (JR/Fort Worth, Texas) each scored two runs apiece. Barnett and Tyler Houston (SR/Cherry Valley, Ark.) also added two hits each for the team.
Jenkins who made his 10th start of the season held the Spartans to just one run over 4.1 innings pitched, while Coles threw 2.2 innings and allowed the remaining run. Tognarine came in for relief of Coles and threw two innings, while escaping a bases loaded jam in the eighth inning.
Lyon is now 34-22 overall, while Missouri Baptist falls to 41-14 on the season. Both teams have qualified for the National Tournament, which will take place on May 15-18 at various opening round sites.
