Â鶹ɫÇ鯬 split a four-game series with Alvin Community College in a NJCAA Division I Region 14 South Zone divisional rivalry over the weekend and the Whitecaps have won three of their last five games.

 

GC won the first and third games of the series 1-0 and 2-1, while ACC took the second and fourth games, 8-0 and 9-4. With the split, the Whitecaps improved to 22-30 overall, 10-22 and fifth place in the South Zone Division. The Dolphins are currently in third place with 28-21 and 18-14 records.

 

“We’ve seen some improvement over the last few games, winning three of the last five,� said GC Head Baseball Coach, Kevin Lallmann, who recently won his 400th game. “There have been some really good pitcher’s battles lately and that’s made for a few close and exciting games. ACC is a tough team and we managed to split the series with them.�

 

In Saturday’s victory, the Dolphins took a 1-0 lead in the third inning. However, the Whitecaps knotted it up a 1-all in the fifth before scoring the game-winning run in the bottom of the eighth inning to claim the 2-1 victory.

 

Center fielder RJ Patrick and second baseman Ken Hemmer scored GC’s winning runs and freshman right-handed pitcher Cullen Flowers was credited with the win to improve to 2-0 on the season. Flowers threw 1.2 innings of relief for starting pitcher Nate Campbell and fanned two batters. Campbell pitched five innings of four-hit ball and struck out seven Dolphins.

 

With three games remaining in the regular season, the Whitecaps will host Blinn College on April 26 at 3 p.m. at Bernard Davis Field in what will be their last home game of the year. GC will end the season on the road against BC on April 29 at 2 and 5 p.m. in Brenham.
