PORTLAND, Ore. – Another strong offensive effort from the UBC Thunderbirds (20-3, 14-2) helped them to a four-game sweep of the Concordia Cavaliers. They won 6-3 and 17-3 on Sunday to wrap up the weekend sweep.

Over the weekend the T-Birds out scored Concordia by a combined total of 45-6 and righted the ship after a split with College of Idaho at home last weekend.

"Today it was the offence that carried us and made the difference. The team is feeling much better about things as this is what we are capable of this year," said UBC head coach Terry McKaig. "We have a big weekend coming up as we visit Lewis-Clark State for three games and Washington State University for one."

The T-Birds fell behind for the fist time this weekend in the bottom of the sixth of the opening game, as the Cavaliers got to starter Brandon Kaye for three runs to take a 3-1 lead.

UBC responded, however, in the top of the seventh with four runs of their own and then added a single in the seventh. Shawn Heatherington picking up the win in relief after a three and one third outing that saw him allow only two hits.

Rookie standout Blake Carruthers produced most of the offence for UBC in the win, knocking in three RBIs.

Concordia jumped ahead again in game two, leading 2-1 after the first, however, UBC re-took the lead in the top of third and then put the game away with an eight run out burst in the top of the fifth to take a 13-3 lead. They added four more in the top of the seventh.

Carruthers was at it again, going 3-of-4 at the plate with three runs and four RBI thanks in large part to a three-run homer.

Nic Lendvoy and Christian Jolley each added three RBIs for the T-Birds and UBC had seven players tally multi-hit performances as they racked up 19 hits.

Danny Britton-Foster got the win in relief with a solid three-inning performance.
