CRETE, Neb.-- Isaiah Roebuck (FR/Marana, AZ)'s bases-clearing double highlighted a four-run third inning and Trei Hough (SO/Pocatello, ID) delivered seven superb innings on the mound as the University of Jamestown baseball team defeated Doane (Neb.) University 5-2 Saturday morning.

The fourth-seeded Jimmies (28-22) advance to the bracket championship on Monday at 12 p.m. while the top-seeded Tigers will play a loser-out game Saturday at 3 p.m.

Tayler Cullen (SR/Santa Rosa, Calif.) reached on an error by the Doane first baseman with one out in the second, then stole second base and moved to third on a groundout. Reece McKenzie (FR/Gresham, OR) delivered a key two-out single to score Cullen for a 1-0 lead.

Doane countered with a single run in the top of the third, but the Jimmies quickly retook the lead in the bottom half. Quade Peters (FR/West Fargo, ND) led off with a single down the right field line and was sacrificed to second by Kendall Yackley (JR/Lynnwood, WA). Xander Orejudos (JR/Ellensburg, WA) singled and Tanner Shepard (SR/Grand Rapids, MN) walked to load the bases. Luke Shekeryk (SR/Seattle, WA) was hit by a pitch to force home Peters, then one out later, Roebuck doubled to left center, clearing the bases and giving UJ another two-out hit.

The Tigers added one run in the fifth, but were held off the board for the final four innings.

Hough (5-1) gave up one earned run on four hits over seven innings, striking out six and issuing just one walk. It was the second time in three starts Hough went seven innings, and third time in his last four outings he went six. Outside of a 3 1/3 inning start against DWU on April 28, Hough is 3-0 with a 0.45 earned run average in 20 innings, with one earned run allowed on 11 hits. Hayden Brown (JR/Buckeye, AZ) struck out three in the final two innings to record his fourth save.

Roebuck was 2-for-4 to lead the offense. Cullen and Blake Arritola (JR/Salem, OR) each recorded a stolen base.

Saturday's win snapped a 10-game losing streak to Doane dating back to April 28, 2019

CRETE, Neb.-- Luke Shekeryk (SR/Seattle, WA) went 3-for-4 with two home runs and drove in seven to help the University of Jamestown baseball team to a 13-6 win over Doane (Neb.) University in the championship game of the Doane pod in the GPAC postseason tournament.

Jamestown (29-22) travels to face Concordia (Neb.) Tuesday at 6 p.m. in Seward, Neb., for the GPAC's second automatic bid to the NAIA national tournament. The Bulldogs won three elimination games Monday to capture the Seward pod of the tournament.

Shekeyrk led off the second inning with a solo home run to bring the Jimmies within 3-1 after the Tigers scored three times in their first at-bat. UJ scored three runs in each of the third, fifth, sixth, and seven innings, finishing with 14 hits in the game.

Tayler Cullen (SR/Santa Rosa, Calif.)'s bases-loaded double in the third made it 4-3 Jamestown, but Doane came back with a single run in the bottom half to tie the game at 4-4.

Trent Peters (SO/Niverville, MB, Canada) and Andrew Kupec (SO/Peoria, AZ) had RBI singles in the fifth and Shekeryk scored on a throwing error as the Jimmies took the lead for good at 7-4. The Tigers scored once in the fifth and had their last run come in the eighth.

After Quade Peters (FR/West Fargo, ND) and Tanner Shepard (SR/Grand Rapids, MN) reached base in the sixth, Shekeryk came through with a two-out, three-run homer that extended UJ's lead to 10-5.

Shekeryk continued his monster day at the plate in the seventh, clearing the bases with a double to right center to score Xander Orejudos (JR/Ellensburg, WA), Shepard, and Quade Peters.

Orejudos, Cullen, Quade Peters, and Reece McKenzie (FR/Gresham, OR) all had a pair of hits for Jamestown.

Kendall Yackley (JR/Lynnwood, WA) started on the mound and went three innings, giving up four runs (three earned) on 10 hits. Ben Ray (JR/Federal Way, WA) (3-0), the second of five Jimmie relievers, got the win after pitching 1 2/3 scoreless innings with three strikeouts. Overall, the UJ relief corps of Cameron Jenkins (SR/West Richland, WA), Ray, Noah Soltero (SR/North Las Vegas, NV), Cameron Multer (SO/Greeley, CO), and Hayden Brown (JR/Buckeye, AZ) worked six innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits, walking two and striking out nine.

This will be the second time in the last three full seasons UJ and Concordia have met for the GPAC championship. Jamestown defeated the Bulldogs 3-0 on May 7, 2019 in Yankton, S.D., behind a four-hit shutout by Dru Fitz.
