COLLEGE BASEBALL
WESTMONT 8, BRITISH COLUMBIA 4
Senior infielders Taylor Bush and Luke Coffey each went 3-for-5 at the plate, and each drove in two runs to help the Warriors to a shutout win at Russ Carr Field.
Junior starter Cory Dawson earned the victory after allowing two runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings.
“I thought Cory did a really good job commanding his fastball today,” Westmont coach Robert Ruiz said in a statement. “He got through the lineup one time pretty efficiently. Cory is going to be a really good pitcher. We have high hopes for him here and hopefully beyond. He minimized some situations that could have turned into game-changing innings. He made some big pitches in some big spots.”
After three scoreless innings, Westmont got on the board with a run in the bottom of the fourth. With two outs, Coffey drove a shot into left-center field. Designated hitter Nick Sablock drove Coffey in with a single to right, and the Warriors were on their way to a fourth straight win to open the season.
