BOX SCORE 1 | BOX SCORE 2 SALEM – Corban rallied from behind in a pair of seven-inning games Tuesday afternoon to sweep a non-league baseball doubleheader from the visiting Lewis & Clark Pioneers at Warrior Field.

After falling behind 3-0 in the opening game, the Warriors came back to take an 8-3 victory. The game-winning rally in the second contest came in the bottom of the sixth and led to a 2-1 triumph.

With the wins, Corban improves its season record to 24-17, while at the same time Lewis & Clark falls to 9-19-1.

CORBAN 8, LEWIS & CLARK 3

The Pioneers scored three runs in the top of the first inning, making the most of a leadoff walk, two sacrifice bunts, two errors and a two-run double by Hayden Higger.

Corban responded by scoring six runs in the second inning and two more in the fourth. The second-inning rally came after two were out and featured consecutive singles by Jon Mercer, Landon Frost, Gregg Romero, Daniel Orr, Ben Straka, Tyler Bennett and Ryan Rosas. Romero and Bennett both drove in two runs, Rosas plated a fifth, and the final run scored when Bennett raced home to an untended home plate after a throwing error.

In the fourth, Steven Kha hit a RBI single and later Ryan Morgan and Rosas worked a double steal, with Rosas scoring the eighth run of the game for the Warriors.

Corban ended up with 12 hits, led by Rosas with three and Orr and Mercer with two apiece. The eight runs were scored by eight different players.

Adam Shumka, one of four Corban pitchers, picked up his first win of the season, allowing just one hit and striking out two in three solid innings of relief.

The Pioneers managed just four hits in the game. Ben Ratzlaff took the loss, allowing all eight runs and 11 hits in five innings.

The game was scoreless until the fifth inning when the Pioneers finally broke through against reliever Eli Driessen. Two errors, a sacrifice bunt and an infield single set up the score, with Jacob Burton lifting a sacrifice fly to left field to drive in Matthew Cathcart with the game's first run.

It stayed 1-0 in favor of Lewis & Clark until the bottom of the sixth when the Warriors rallied for the win. Benjamin Liogon ripped a game-tying, two-out double down the right field line, and he sprinted all the way to score on a low throw to first base on what should have been an inning-ending ground ball. Liogon had two of the Warriors' three hits.

Ryan Morgan came into the game to nail down the save, which he got when Liogon chased and caught a fly ball into right field foul territory with the tying run at third base.

Gober started and allowed three hits while striking out one in three innings of work. Driessen got the win, allowing the one unearned run on just one hit in three innings, and Morgan got his first save, allowing a hit and striking out one batter.

Ryan Strombom was the hard-luck loser for the Pioneers. He allowed just three hits while walking five and striking out three in 5 2/3 innings. Corey Davis had two of L&C's five hits.

Corban returns to action at noon Friday when they open a four-game NAIA West series against visiting University of British Columbia.
