	Tigers keep pace with weekend sweep of Ozarks Tuesday, Apr 8, 2003 By David Weaver MARSHALL, Texas (BP)--East Texas Baptist kept its American Southwest Conference playoff hopes alive April 5 by sweeping a pair of games from ASC East rival University of the Ozarks and completing a three-game weekend sweep of the Eagles at Young Field. ETBU got a pair of complete-game pitching performances to lead Saturday’s doubleheader sweep, with sophomore Brandon Vorse tossing a six-hitter in a 5-2 win in game one of twinbill followed by an Aaron Lippe seven-hitter in a 9-3 win in the final game. The wins lift the Tigers to 20-8 on the season and 11-7 in conference play. Ozarks falls to 10-16 and 5-13. ETBU entered the weekend trailing second-place University of Texas-Dallas by two games in the race for the final playoff spot in the East Division. The Tigers rallied from a 2-0 deficit in game one Saturday with a three-run uprising in the third inning, keyed by an RBI single by Tommy Edwards and a two-run triple by Nathaniel Jordan. ETBU increased the lead to 4-2 in the fourth on a solo home run by Matt Hamilton and gave Vorse (4-1) insurance in the fifth inning on a double by Edwards, who eventually scored on a passed ball. The double was Edwards’ 20th of the season, which sets a new Tiger single-season record. The old mark was 19, set by Bink Grimes in 1995. Edwards had three hits on the day to lead ETBU at the plate. ETBU took a 3-0 lead in the second inning of game two, keyed by a two-run single by Trey Luster, who finished with three hits. After Ozarks climbed to within 3-2, ETBU got some breathing room on an RBI single by Jeremy Collins followed by Collins’ run scored on a wild pitch. ETBU then put the game away in the fifth with a run on James Morgan’s RBI double and three more runs in the sixth on an RBI single by Edwards and a two-run double by Jordan. --30-- [ Back to Previous Page ]	Email This Story To a Friend Enter your friend's email address: Bookmark this Page!  Related Stories ETBU turnovers give victory to Ouachita -9/13/2006 Former ETBU basketball player makes the pros -3/24/2006 East Texas Baptist graduate now in the big leagues -9/23/2005 ETBU falters in 13-7 playoff loss -12/4/2003 ETBU outlasts Trinity in thriller, 42-41 -11/24/2003 ETBU’s playoff road winds back to Tacoma, Wash. -5/6/2003 ETBU women clinch ASC playoff spot -4/17/2003 Tigers keep pace with weekend sweep of Ozarks -4/8/2003 Central Christian pounds East Texas Baptist -3/27/2003 ETBU splits doubleheader with Hillsdale Baptist -3/20/2003 East Texas Baptist swept by Mississippi College -3/17/2003 East Texas Baptist blasts LeTourneau, inches closer to postseason -2/20/2003 ETBU pounds Jarvis Christian in baseball -2/14/2003 East Texas Baptist sweeps Austin College -1/20/2003 Tigers going back to basics this season -11/20/2002 Lady Tigers pin hopes on improved depth -11/20/2002 ETBU's Allison Castillo named to all-region team -11/20/2002 ETBU cross country teams impress at championships -11/1/2002 Tigers host Cowboys in conference showdown -10/24/2002 ETBU's Castillo named Player of the Week -10/15/2002
