Jewell baseball wrapped up its home weekend with a split with Maryville Sunday, dropping the first contest 4-2 to the Saints but rallying for a 12-1 win in the second game.

In winning three of four games against the Saints (15-19, 14-12 GLVC) the Cardinals (16-22, 12-16) amassed 41 hits and 27 runs, made just one error, and got quality starts from their pitching staff in all four games.

In the first game Sunday, Preston Felgate took a 2-0 lead to the third inning with two outs before an error, a walk, an infield single, and a line drive to centerfield, barely out of the reach of a diving Jordan Rice, led to three runs.  Felgate went 6.1 innings, allowing four runs on five hits, walking two and striking out two, and was tagged with the loss.  He is 3-3.

The Cardinals had an RBI double by Bryan Rezin and an RBI single by Clark O'Dowd to account for their two runs.

In the second game, freshman Dylan Pollock made his second career start for Jewell and started out a bit shaky, allowing a run in the first inning on two walks and a hit, but settled down to pick up the win in five innings of work.  Pollock allowed just the one run, gave up four hits, walked a total of three hitters, and struck out six for his second career win.

Tom Herrera had a two-run home run to put Jewell ahead in the bottom of the first inning, and drove in another three runs with a triple in the fourth inning.  Jesse Gray had three hits in the second game and scored three runs, Rezin had another double and RBI,  JD Weyer drove in a pair of runs, Jordan Rice had three hits and two RBI, Hunter Bingham drive in a run, and Vance Gorman had two hits.

The Jewell bullpen was exceptional in the doubleheader, with Cody Downing getting the final two outs in game one while only facing three hitters, Blaze Carano retired all three hitters he faced in inning six of game two, and Ron Johnson closing game two without allowing a run, facing five.

The Cardinals next face Ottawa University for two games, each seven innings, on Thursday at 2:00 at Jack Talley Stadium, followed by a weekend road series at Missouri S&T.
