SEGUIN, Texas – The Wabash (Ind.) Little Giants, led by the starting pitching of Brian Van Duyn, shut out the Texas Lutheran Bulldogs 6-0 on Monday at TLU’s Katt-Isbel Field.

Van Duyn (1-0) made his first start of the season and allowed only three hits in eight innings of work. He struck out four and walked two.

Van Duyn combined with reliever Keegan Leckrone on the shutout. Leckrone pitched the ninth and struck out two batters.

Wabash, an NCAA Division III school out of Crawfordsville, Ind., improved to 3-3 overall with the non-conference win.

TLU, also a member of the NCAA Division III, dropped to 12-7 overall.

Louis Lee (1-1) pitched well in defeat for the Bulldogs. The junior from Cypress (Cypress Christian/Eastfield JC) worked eight innings and did not allow an earned run. An unearned run scored in the eighth inning as Wabash took the 1-0 lead.

The Little Giants put up five runs in the top of the ninth inning. Three runs scored on a bases-clearing double from John Holm, who drove in four of the Wabash runs.

Jake Thomas and Matt Dodaro also had RBI for the Little Giants.

TLU only managed a total of four hits, and no Bulldog had more than one hit. The Bulldogs made four fielding errors.
