BPCC takes game one of doubleheader from NTCC 9-7

BOSSIER CITY, La. - In game one of Saturday's doubleheader, the BPCC Cavaliers jumped out to an 8-0 lead before the NTCC Eagles scored six runs in the top of the sixth inning to make it close. NTCC's six runs, all unearned, came on just two hits but were aided by three BPCC errors in the inning. BPCC first baseman hit a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth to put the Cavs up by three heading into the top of the seventh. NTCC would score its seventh and final run with two outs on a BPCC throwing error, its sixth of the game.

Leading 2-0 in the bottom of the fourth, the Cavaliers scored five runs on just two hits and took advantage of one Eagle error. Back-to-back 2-RBI doubles by Garrett Felix and Dylan Watts plated four of the Cavaliers' runs. BPCC's final run of the inning came when Jaden Adams, who replaced Watts after he was injured rounding the bag at third, stole home as part of a well-executed double steal.

Justin Lawson, who's a North Carolina State signee, went five and two-thirds innings, allowed just three hits and six runs, only two of which were earned, while walking two and striking out 10 to earn his second win of the season. Daniel Shafer earned his second save of the season as he closed out the game in the seventh. Shafer allowed one hit and one unearned run, while walking one and striking out one.
