Dirtbags sweep Davis

It was an emotional weekend at Blair Field as baseball took a backseat to the stories on and off the field. 

Davis, the conference doormat played hard and gave LBSU (23-20, 10-5) two tough games after a blowout Friday night but the Dirtbags got the sweep they needed and with 11 games to go can still play their way into the NCAA Tournament.

Sunday, TJ Mittelstaedt's two-run seventh inning triple carried the Dirtbags to a 3-2 win. Josh Corrales got the win in an emotional return to Blair Field for the freshman pitcher.

Saturday night, Jake Thompson was stellar again and LBSU won 5-2. It was an interesting night and the game, more than the result, served a much bigger cause.

The Dirtbags rolled over the Aggies in the series opener behind ace Adam Wilk, some big offense and a lot of help from the Davis bullpen in a 16-3 blowout win.

LBSU takes on Pepperdine at 6:30 on Tuesday night. The Dirtbags beat the Waves three weeks ago in Malibu by a 5-4 score.
