University split its two games at the Viking Classic on Saturday.
First, the Trailblazers beat Cannon County 8-4 in six innings. Cannon scored a run in the bottom of the first inning, but it was all University after that, as the ‘Blazers poured in five runs in the top of the second. Jake Hooker started things off with a three-run double, sending Sam Woodward, Cooper Burnett and Jasper Owens home. Next up was Owen Schellhase, and his center field home run also got Hooker in to score.
University added two runs in the fifth inning. Woodward scored on a while pitch, then Hooker singled in Burnett. Seth Hogg led off the sixth with a solo homer.
Woodward went 3-for-3 at the plate, while Hooker and Schellhase each had two hits. Hooker also pitched the complete game, striking out five.
The Trailblazers dropped their second game, 11-3 to Livingston Academy in five innings. Livingston scored eight runs in the first two innings before University got on the board in the top of the third. Hogg smacked a triple to score Thomas Price, then Hogg scored on Schellhase’s RBI groundout. Woodward scored a fourth-inning run when Weber Morse reached on error.
The Trailblazers are 3-1 and host Harrison April 12 at Grand Park.
