HILLSBORO, Kan. - The Tabor College Baseball Team kicked off its 2010 season in dominating fashion, sweeping visiting Central Christian College in a double header Wednesday afternoon.

In game one Tabor used a strong pitching performance to hold Central Christian hitless and scoreless for all seven innings in route to a 10-0 shutout.

After a scoreless first two innings, Tabor found its offensive rhythm scoring 10 runs over the last four innings including a four run sixth inning to cruise to its first victory of the season.

Eleven Bluejays recorded at least one hit in the game as Tabor combined for 13 total hits led by junior Ryan Boucher (Wichita, Kan.) who went 2-2 from the plate with an RBI and run scored, while freshman Nathan Rausch (Wichita, Kan.) went 2-3 from the plate with two runs scored. Senior Tyson Kendrick (Arkansas City, Kan.) chipped in offensively with three RBI's.

Pitching, however, was the story in this game as sophomore Jonathan Murray (Wichita, Kan.) and Nicholas Reif (Wichita, Kan.) combined for the no-hitter. Murray led the way with five shutout innings, striking out four to earn the win.

In game two Tabor jumped out to an early, 4-0, lead after two innings of play before exploding for 11 runs in the third inning in route to the 15-4 victory.

Freshman Taylor Douglas (Wichita, Kan.) led the Bluejays offensively as he went 3-3 from the plate with two RBI's and two runs scored, while Rausch went 2-2 from the plate with two runs scored and four RBI's including his first home run of the season.

Junior Wes Stancher (Shawnee Mission, Kan.) got the start and the win for the Bluejays, pitching three and two-thirds innings and allowing four runs on five hits while striking out three.

Tabor (2-0) will play host to Sioux Falls University in a double-header Thursday February 18, at 1 p.m. with game two to follow.
