Grand Canyon beats Dallas Baptist 12
TUSCON, Ariz. (AP) — Eddy Pelc and Eli Paton had two RBIs apiece, Emilio Barreras went 3 for 5 with an RBI and scored twice and Grand Canyon beat Dallas Baptist 12-10 Sunday in an elimination game at the Tuscon Regional.
Grand Canyon (36-24), which ended the season of top-seed and host Arizona with a 7-0 win over the Wildcats in an elimination game Saturday, plays No. 3 seed West Virginia in the finals later in the day but must beat the Mountaineers twice (with a second game on Monday) to advance to the super regionals.
Alton Gyselman drew a two-out walk on four consecutive pitches and Barreras singled before Tyler Wilson, Cade Verdusco and Pelc each reached base on balls to give Grand Canyon a 12-10 lead.
Walter Quinn (3-3) came on in the seventh and allowed a run over three innings, retiring seven of the final eight batters he faced — Jay drew a two-out walk in the ninth — to earn the win.
