UIW Completes Season-Opening Series Sweep
SAN ANTONIO – Junior C Keaton Rice was 3-for-3 with a walk and senior SS Luke Shadid also banged out three hits, but their offensive efforts were not enough as Incarnate Word (3-0) completed a season-opening series sweep with a 19-9 win against Bradley (0-3) Sunday afternoon at Sullivan Field.
The Cardinals outslugged the Braves, 15-13, in the hits column and took advantage of a wild pitching performance by the visitors: eight walks, four hit batters and four wild pitches. UIW 1B Ryan Flores and SS Grant Smith both homered and drove in five runs apiece, while RF Drew Minter also homered and drove in four.
