CRESTWOOD, Ill. – The Roosevelt baseball team bounced back in a big way from an 8-2 loss in Wednesday's opener against visiting Trinity Christian, as Parker Coleman's near-cycle ignited a 12-2 run-rule decision over the Trolls to cap the doubleheader at Ozinga Field.

Coleman homered, tripled and singled during a 3-for-4 performance to lead the Lakers (4-17, 4-6 CCAC) during their 13-hit victorious showing.

After grounding out in the first, the senior centerfielder from Flossmoor walloped a two-run homer in the second, legged out a triple in the fourth that allowed him to score again, and laced a single in the sixth.

Joey Fox and Frankie Perino had two-RBI games in the finale as Roosevelt scored seven times in the first two innings and concluded the game on two unearned runs in the bottom of the seventh. The seventh-inning scoring started with two outs after a passed ball and a throwing error by the catcher allowed Matt Marrera to reach base on a strikeout, get a run in and put a pair of runners in scoring position. That was then followed by a run-scoring wild pitch that let Lou Reynolds come home and pushed the margin to 10 for the run-rule invocation.

Pierce Albright tossed nearly three innings of relief to get the win.

The Lakers couldn't generate much offense against Trinity Christian (13-11, 5-3 CCAC) in the day's opening contest, as Roosevelt mustered just four hits total. Three of them came against starter Christian Howell, who gave up just two runs in six innings.

Jake Hutchinson homered, Leo Lunatto had an RBI single, and Matt Kozlak accounted for half of Roosevelt's hit total in the loss.

Roosevelt begins a three-game series at St. Ambrose this Saturday with doubleheader action in Davenport, Iowa. The series finishes with a single game in Crestwood on Sunday at 1 p.m.
