Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 FORT WORTH, TX:  The Texas Wesleyan University baseball team (17-18) was swept in a doubleheader against Texas College (17-23) at LaGrave Field on Tuesday.  The Steers took game one 8-3 and game two 5-1.
 
Game one featured a number of curious calls from the umpiring crew.  The Steers picked up a run in the first when Jared Seal hit a ground ball by the third base bag.  Although the ball appeared to be well foul, it was ruled was ruled fair for an RBI double.
 
Jonathan Bravo led off the bottom of the first with a grounder that was bobbled by the TC second baseman.  Bravo appeared to be safe at first, but was ruled out prompting a quick ejection of TWU head coach Mike Jeffcoat. 
 
In the top of the second, the Rams' starting pitcher Easton Etter joined Jeffcoat on the sidelines after hitting the first two batters.  Etter, who did not appear to be intentionally throwing at the Steers, had struggled with his command throwing just five strikes in 20 pitches.  The Steers stretched their lead to 4-0 before Avery Sullivan could work his way out of the jam with a 4-6-3 double play. 
 
The wildly erratic officiating continued in the bottom of the second.  Dakota Lee led off and ripped a shot down the right field line that appeared to be fair for a double but was ruled foul.  Two pitches later Lee singled to left, but he was later called out attempting to steal third on yet another close call disputed by the TWU coaching staff.  A pair of walks gave the Rams a bases-loaded opportunity, but Trey Swartzenberg got Jake Davis to line to second and end the inning.
 
The hits just kept on coming for the Rams.  Another potential rally was squelched in the third inning when Jake Howeth was ruled out at first on a pickoff throw from the TC catcher.
 
Texas College got RBI safeties from James Tamakian and Jared Seal during a three-run fifth and used three walks to plate another run and push the score to 8-0 in the sixth.
 
Lee got the Rams on the board in the bottom of the sixth when he blasted a three-run homer to left, but that would be the end of the scoring.
 
Swartzenberg (2-3) got the win after allowing three runs on six hits and three walks in five innings of work.  Etter (3-2) took the loss after surrendering three runs on a hit, a walk, and three hit batters in an inning plus.
 
Tyler Kamtz and Lee both had a pair of hits in the game-one loss.
 
In game two, the Steers turned a leadoff walk into a run in the first.  Tamakian came through with a two-out RBI single in the second, and the Steers added runs on two wild pitches and a passed ball to lead 5-0.
 
Kyle Randall kept the Rams off the board until the sixth inning, when Joel Rickman plated Kamtz with a two-out single.  However, that was all the Rams could muster against Randall (3-0), who scattered five hits across seven innings to earn the win.  Connor Zamora (1-3) took the loss after allowing five runs, four earned, on two hits and six walks in two innings pitched.
 
The Rams will return to action this weekend when they host Oklahoma Baptist University in a Sooner Athletic Conference series.  Friday's doubleheader is scheduled for a 2:00 p.m. start at LaGrave Field.  Saturday's finale is scheduled for a 12:00 p.m. first pitch.
