MU starts baseball season with a split

The 24th-ranked Madonna University baseball team opened its 2013 season Friday in Dayton, Tenn. by splitting a pair of games.

Designated hitter Spencer Sarel belted a 2-run homer in the top of the fourth inning and the Crusaders rode the right arm of senior Matthew Cook to beat host Bryan (Tenn.) College, 5-3, after falling to No. 20 Georgetown (Ky.) earlier in the day, 8-3.

Cook went all seven innings to throw a complete game. He allowed three earned runs on six hits, while striking out six and not allowing a walk.

Brad Lineberry (Plymouth) also went 2-for-4 with an RBI.

Blake Johnson hit a 2-run homer for Bryan (2-1) and starter Joey Vega, who gave up four earned runs on five hits in five innings, took the loss.

Georgetown (3-2) got a complete game from starter Tyler Arthur (1-1) to beat the Crusaders. He struck out six, walked one and allowed two earned runs on seven hits.

Lineberry went 2-for-3 with two RBI, while Shane Dokey also went 2-for-3.

Sarel collected the other RBI to finish with four on the day.

Georgetown was led by DH Martin Lemus, who went 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBI. Mike Stienke also added three hits, while E.J. Murray went 2-for-4 with three RBI and Ryan Serrato hit a solo homer.

MU starter Josh Vandemark allowed six earned runs on 10 hits in 4.1 innings before giving way to Adam Prashad, who worked the final 2.2.

On Saturday, MU returns to the field in Cleveland, Tenn. to face Rio Grande (Ohio) and then No. 3-ranked Lee (Tenn.).
