The Keiser University Seahawks opened their postseason campaign with a decisive 5‑1 victory over the Texas A&M‑Victoria Jaguars on Tuesday night. The win, played in front of a modest but enthusiastic crowd, marked the first step toward a potential deep run in the tournament.
Pitching Excellence
Keiser’s pitching staff proved relentless, fanning ten batters while surrendering just one earned run. The combination of sharp fastballs and crafty off‑speed pitches kept the Jaguars off balance throughout the contest.
Offensive spark came early from Avery Doezie, whose two‑RBI single in the first inning put the Seahawks ahead. The momentum carried forward as Elian Collado crossed the plate on a throwing error, extending the lead and igniting the team’s confidence.
The offense continued to grind, with Maddox Shaver delivering a 2‑for‑3 performance that included a walk, while Carson Hawkes earned his eighth win of the season by delivering solid innings. Seth Broadwell capped the outing with his fifth save of the year, preserving the narrow margin.
Base stealing added a dynamic edge, as the Seahawks swiped four bases, underscoring their aggressive approach. However, Kyle Keyes encountered trouble in the second inning, stranding multiple runners and inducing a double play that could have shifted the game’s momentum.
Looking ahead, Keiser will meet the loser of tonight’s clash between Hope International and Lewis‑Clark State. The upcoming matchup promises another test of the team’s resilience and depth.
