ALBANY, Ore. — Linn-Benton split a doubleheader with Mt. Hood Sunday afternoon in NWAC South Region baseball action, topping the Saints 5-4 in game one before dropping the nightcap 13-9.
The Roadrunners (12-4) got a boost from freshman Durham Sundberg in game one. Sundberg's solo home run in the bottom of the sixth inning put the Roadrunners up 2-1. But the Saints (9-4) scored two runs in the seventh and another in the eight inning to take a 4-2 lead.
Linn-Benton scored three runs of its own in the bottom of the eighth for the final margin. Ruben Cedillo singled home Jake Hoskins to start the comeback. Michael Soper's bases loaded walk brought home Cedillo and Ian McIntyre scored on an error.
Taylor Ott pitched six and one-third innings to earn the win, striking out eight batters.
In game two, the Saints scored two runs in the fourth inning to open up a 7-2 lead. Both teams struggled on the mound and in the field recording three errors apiece. The Saints opened up a 13-5 lead in the seventh inning before the Roadrunners added four more runs to post the final margin.
Kenji Lamdin took the loss for Linn-Benton.
The Roadrunners travel to Chemeketa next Friday and will then host the Storm Sunday at 1:00 p.m. at Dick McClain Field.
