WEST POINT, Ga. — William Carey completed a dominant weekend with a 12-1 run-rule victory over Point University on Saturday, securing the series sweep.
The Crusaders took control early, scoring four runs in the second inning. After a quiet first frame, back-to-back walks and a sacrifice bunt from Cam Senior set up the offense. Franklin Hernandez drove in the first run with an RBI groundout, followed by a single from Nic Arender. A passed ball allowed Hernandez to score, and Gage Hinnant added a sacrifice fly to cap the inning’s four-run rally.
Point threatened in the bottom half but couldn’t push across a run. Carey added three runs in the fourth, highlighted by a two-run single from Tyler Ducksworth, and extended its lead with two more runs in the fifth on RBI hits from Hernandez and Arender. Damian Hernandez hit a solo home run in the sixth for Point, breaking the shutout.
Carey responded immediately, scoring twice in the sixth on an RBI single from Hays Carley and a sacrifice fly from Senior. The Crusaders finished their scoring in the seventh, with Barron Frazer hitting an RBI double. Josh MacCord earned the win, pitching six innings and allowing just one run on five hits.
William Carey returns to action March 10 with a non-conference game against West Alabama in Livingston, Alabama, scheduled for 5 p.m., according to school officials.
