AUSTIN, Texas - The Concordia Texas baseball team notched a pair of wins against Howard Payne University. Colby Christian homered into the parking lot at Gardner-Boggs Field as the Tornados secured a spot in the ASC tournament on Friday.

GAME ONE: W, 4-3 (7 Innings)

The Tornados struck first in the second inning with a RBI single to right field to score Efren Sanchez Jr. after he slammed a hit of the left field monster. The Yellowjackets capitalized on an error to knot the game up in the top of the third, but CTX answered in the bottom of the frame with a solo homer by Christian. 

Howard Payne added a pair of runs to go up   3-2 in the top of the fifth. Brayden Pick connected on a RBI-double to right center that scored Chris Morrow to tie the game going into the sixth. They then took the lead when Julian Swift tallied an infield RBI-single to score Samuel Ortiz in the bottom of the sixth.

GAME TWO: W, 3-2

In search of a comeback, the Tornados loaded the bases with only one out in the bottom of the eighth.
