AUSTIN, Texas - The Concordia Texas baseball team earned a series victory with a doubleheader split against Schreiner University. Schreiner claimed game one of the doubleheader, while the Tornados walked-off the finale in 13 innings at Gardner-Boggs Field on Saturday. 

GAME ONE: L, 7-2

Schreiner notched a run in the top of the first, but Concordia answered immediately with a two-RBI shot from Bo Dinscore. After a scoreless three innings, the Mountaineers knotted the game up at 2-2 in the top of the fifth.

Schreiner then took a 3-2 lead in the sixth with a run scored & added two more in the top of the seventh. 

GAME TWO: W, 5-4 (13 Innings)

The Tornados got on the scoreboard early in the first with RBIs from Kalen Clark & Jett Warner that scored Samuel Ortiz & Jake Townsend. Schreiner would cut the lead in half with a run in the fourth.
