Two 2003 Carson High graduates had strong efforts for NAIA college baseball teams on Sunday.
Ryan Henry came on in relief for Oregon Tech in the top of the seventh inning in the second game of a doubleheader against No. 5 British Columbia to retire the first batter on a popup and then recorded two strikeouts. His team's rally fell just short in the bottom half of the inning as Oregon Tech lost 6-5.
Oregon Tech closes out its season this weekend with Albertson College, with a chance to qualify for the NAIA Region I playoffs to be held in British Columbia. The winner will travel to the NAIA World Series which will be played at Lewis and Clark State in Idaho.
Also, Tony Teixeira was 2-for-2 and had the only RBI in a 6-1 loss for Missouri's Central Methodist in its game with Culver-Stockton, another NAIA school in Missouri.
