ABILENE, TEXAS – McMurry University smashed five doubles as part of an eight-run, nine-hit offensive attack Tuesday, April 18.
 
Sophomore infielder Riley Hood (Abilene, Texas) and sophomore designated hitter Nolan Scherencel (Arlington, Texas) each turned in multiple-hit contests to lead the way to an 8-3 win over non-conference foe Arlington Baptist. Continuing a recent string of six two-safety-or-more appearances in his last ten outings, Hood doubled as part of a two-for-five, one-run-scored, two-RBI evening. Scherencel also cracked a two-bagger during his three-for-four, one-RBI game.
 
Head coach Josh Lee's pitching staff was just as sound. Seven of the nine hurlers who took to the hill at Walt Driggers Field didn't allow a run, while the entire group combined for five strikeouts.
 
The War Hawks, improving to 13-20 and snapping a three-game skid, resume American Southwest Conference play Friday and Saturday, April 21 and 22. They travel to Concordia University-Austin for a single game Friday and a doubleheader Saturday at Tornado Field.
