PINEVILLE, La. – The Louisiana Christian University baseball program came into Friday's contest brimming with confidence and ready to roll against the second-ranked LSUS Pilots however, a pair of five-run frames in the second and fifth along with lights out pitching by starter Isaac Rohde led the visitors to a 13-0 decision in seven innings.

Wildcats Top Performers:
 

• Braden Trull held up his end of the bargain as the designated hitter, going 2-for-3 without a strikeout to lead the offense.

 

• Leadoff man Adrian Aguilar matched Trull's output, also notching two singles in three plate appearances.

 

• Tyler McKenna was a bean ball magnet, reaching base twice via hit-by-pitches and once the old-fashioned way with a single as the backstop keeps both his streaks alive, upping his consecutive on-base to 17 in-a-row and the hitting string to an even dozen (12).

 

• The only pitcher to not allow a run, earned or unearned, was Kade Linn, who recorded a fly out plus one of the staff's five whiffs.

 
Next:
  

• The opportunity to get the giant Purple and Gold monkey off their backs arises Saturday afternoon in the form of a noon/3 p.m. doubleheader as the Wildcats look to remain within striking distance for the RRAC Regular Season Championship.
