Bulldog Baseball Moves to 2-0, Blasts La Sierra, 11-3

The University of Redlands baseball team won sizably against La Sierra University Tuesday afternoon in Riverside, downing the Golden Eagles by an 11-3 final.

Redlands came into the third inning up, 2-1, and from that point through the top of the ninth, the Maroon and Gray plated nine unanswered runs.

The Golden Eagles scored two unearned runs in the ninth to spell out the final tally.

Four Bulldogs compiled two hits. Junior rightfielder Nate Carlson (Portland, OR) drove in a team-high four runs off of a two-run homer and a two-run single.

Junior pitcher Derek Johnson (Canby, OR) picked up the win on the mound, establishing a 1-0 record. He notched a game-high six strikeouts in four innings of work.

Five relief pitchers chewed up the final five innings. The bullpen combined to surrender just two hits.

Redlands (2-0) returns to action on Friday, Feb. 12, for a Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) bout with Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges. First pitch is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. in Claremont.
