Brant's Career Day Gives Jewell Doubleheader Sweep Over Wolves

LIBERTY, Mo. – The William Jewell baseball team bounced back on Saturday collecting both wins of a doubleheader against Northern State University to move to 2-1 on the year. Game one resulted in a 13-6 victory, while the nightcap left Jewell with a 7-2 win.
 
Junior Will Brant had a career day between the two games. His two home runs today match his season mark from last year, while his seven combined RBI's are a single-day career high for the Prairie Village, Kansas native. In addition to batting 4-6, Brant scored four runs in the afternoon.

  • Northern State regained the lead in the top of the third, Brant hit a solo shot left center to knot things up at 4 runs.
  • The following inning, Jewell exploded for four runs, highlighted by a bases-clearing three-run double from Brant.
