SEARCY – Harding baseball concluded its three-game series against Southwest Baptist with a shutout and a blowout.

Harding used five extra-base hits, including two home runs, to win the opener 8-0. The Bisons then sent a staggering 30 hitters to the plate in the first two innings of a 19-1 victory in game two.

Junior Seth Johnson's double off the left field wall scored senior Cody Smith from first with Harding's first run in the third inning. Sophomore Sebastian Martinez then singled to center to score Johnson.

Lacey led off the fourth with his first homer as a Bison. It was the first of three Harding runs in the inning.

Lacey doubled to score Doyle in the fifth, and Doyle concluded the scoring with a two-run homer to left in the sixth. It was his third home run of the series.

Davis Welch (1-0) earned his first win of the season, allowing only four hits with five strikeouts over five innings. Dylan Penick and Javier Lobo pitched two scoreless innings each. Both yielded one hit and struck out three.

In game two, Harding had 12 hits, walked 13 times and set a school record by being hit by a pitch eight times. The Bisons sent 16 hitters to the plate in an 11-run first inning and 14 hitters to the plate in an eight-run second inning.

Senior Michael Dewald was the hitting star in the second game, going 2-for-2 with two doubles and five RBIs.

Smith, Johnson and Lacey all scored three runs.
