LIBERTY, Mo.  – After seeing a three-run lead evaporate in game one, Truman turned the tables on William Jewell in game two as the two teams split their opening doubleheader on Saturday in Great Lakes Valley Conference action.

Game 1 Recap: Luke Lucchetti hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth to steal game one from the Bulldogs, 4-3. The Cardinals trimmed the Bulldogs lead to 3-2 with a 2-run homer in the eighth and won it on Lucchetti's first of the season with one out in the ninth.
 
The Bulldogs led 3-0 on single runs in the second, fifth and seventh innings and starter Mark Roberts shutout the Cardinals through seven innings.
 
Chris Iliopouloos grounded out to the pitcher in the second to score Dave Gambino.
 
In the fifth, Paul Trenhaile extended his hitting streak to 18 games with an RBI single scoring T.J. Wood. The same two were responsible for the run in the seventh as Wood led off with a single and Trenhaile brought him home with a two-out base hit.
 
In the eighth, Brendan Trimble led off with a triple but was stranded on two strikeouts and a pop out.
 
William Jewell turned that into momentum as Bryan Rezin led off with a single and following a strikeout, Hunter Brown connected on a two-run homer to cut the Bulldogs lead to 3-2.
 
Truman stranded a runner in the ninth and Austin Tinsley relieved Roberts on the hill. Coleman Waheed led off with a single then advanced on a sac bunt. Lucchetti ended the game with the home run to give the Cardinals their sixth win of the season by one run.
