The Lions lose to LSUS in a dramatic game as the Pilots make a late push

March 21, 2023

Shreveport, LA – On Tuesday afternoon at Pilot Field in Shreveport, Louisiana, the Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) Lions baseball team faced the No. 4 ranked Louisiana State University Shreveport (LSUS) Pilots in a single-game faceoff.
 

Game 1:

The SAGU Lions were beaten 5-4 by the baseball squad of the Pilots on Thursday evening. The Pilots improved to a 23-6 record with the victory, continuing their upward trend. The Lions' overall record dropped to 21-8 due to the defeat.

Due to limited opportunities to advance runners, neither the Pilots nor the Lions managed to score during the second inning. A single down the right field line allowed two runners to advance and one to score, giving the Lions their first run of the contest. A solo home run to left field in the fifth inning gave the Lions a 2-0 advantage. The Lions did not relent and scored two more runs in the top of the seventh inning on two more home runs, giving them a 4-0 advantage.

For SAGU, Reagan Smith was outstanding on the mound. Smith had three strikeouts in six innings of play while only allowing three hits and no runs.

Pitches-Strikes: Reagan Smith (66-39), Michael Watson (56-33), Cade Hendricks (33-20), Matthew Hickey (12-8)

The Lions had three home run hitters in Avery Chatman, Matt Daiy, and Bryson Collins. Timothy Compomizzi also added an RBI.
