THOMASVILLE, Ga. – The Thomas University baseball team collected 25 hits in a pair of wins over Brewton-Parker College Tuesday at Varnedoe Stadium. 

In the first game, Thomas (16-16) connected on 15 hits, winning 16-7, then tagged 10 more hits in the 8-1 game-two victory. The games against B-PC (14-22) were originally scheduled for Feb. 12, but were postponed due to impending weather. 

Thomas returns to Sun Conference play this weekend, facing No. 24 Webber International in a three-game set. Friday night, the first pitch is at 6 p.m., then Saturday's doubleheader begins at noon. 

Game One
After catcher Jake Webb sent the second pitch of the inning over the fence, B-PC scored two runs in the top of the second to take the 2-1 lead. Thomas answered with six in the third, one in the fourth and eight in the fifth to extend the margin to 14 runs. Brewton-Parker fought back, though, with two in the sixth and three in the seventh. 

The Night Hawks hit five doubles, drew five walks, were hit by a pair of pitches and stole two bases in the win. 

Right fielder Randy Heller was 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored while Webb was 3-for-3 with a leadoff home run, two RBI and a walk. Shortstop Chase Hinson connected on a pair of doubles, scored once and drove in one run. 

Starter Dillon Rutland earned the win, allowing four runs from eight hits in 6.0 innings. Christian Michener (3 R, 4 BB, 0.1 IP) and Sam Wittkopf (0.2 IP) both came in for relief. 

Game Two
Thomas jumped out to a four-run lead after the first frame, then B-PC plated one in the second. But the Night Hawks attacked again with four in the fourth to earn the 8-1 win. 

Catcher Jacob Schmidt, Heller and second baseman Luis Martinez each connected on a pair of hits, and left fielder Levi O'Steen drove in two with his double in the first inning. 

Starter Caleb Rogers tossed 4.0 innings, allowing just one run from four hits while striking out two to earn his second win of the season. Relievers Keyton Smith (1 K, 1 BB, 3 H, 2.0 IP) and Ryan Pierce (1 K, 1 BB, 1.0 IP) held the Barons scoreless.
