In conjunction with the MLB World Series, the TWU Bulldogs baseball team competed in their own Fall Classic, last week, with Lead Team completing a three-game sweep of the Blue Team.

The games were not traditonally scored, but rather a points system was used. Hits and Runs were worth a point, with a bonus five points for winning the game. Errors cost the team one point.

“I thought the World Series went well overall,” said junior pitcher Koehn Thomas. “The energy was high all throughout the three-games series. I think we could have played defense a bit better, but the offense made up for a lot of mistakes.”

Game 1
Wednesday’s game 1 saw the Lead team complete a 14-6 win. Kolton Reynolds homered for the winning Lead Team, with Jordan Massis and Matthew Martinez hitting home runs for Blue in the loss.

Game 2
Behind another home run from Kolton Reynolds and solid pitching from Baylor Homesley and Wes Butler, the Lead team took game 2, 30-10.

Game 3
The Lead team completed the sweep of the blue team, 47-24, thanks to a walk-off win, their second of the series.

The Bulldogs now enter the quiet winter months before season preparations begin in January, with opening day slated for late January. The team closed the 2024 season ranked No.5 in the nation after another trip to the Avista-NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho.
