BATON ROUGE, La.—Gip Hendrix’s bases-loaded walk in the ninth inning proved to be the difference in the opener as Texarkana College edged Chipola (Fla.) College, 13-12, at Baton Rouge Community College’s stadium.

The second game was called after eight innings with the game tied at 9.

Hendrix drove in four runs in the first game, smacking a 3-run home run in the second inning. David Allday, who leads TC in hitting, had three singles, Jordy Snikeris a double and John Stilson a 2-run double.

Taylor Nichols went the first five innings, leaving with an 11-1 lead, but the Bulldogs bullpen couldn’t hold the lead. Joaquin Hinojosa (3-1) picked up the win, pitching the last two innings.

Austin Atwell led TC’s 8-hit attack in the second game with a double and two singles. Hendrix had a 2-run homer, Brian Ellis had two doubles, driving in two runs, and Jake Rogers and RBI single.
