2/21/2023 11:30:00 PM | Baseball
NACOGDOCHES, Texas - Stephen F. Austin defeated Prairie View A&M University 11-1 to get their first win of the 2023 season. SFA improves to 1-4 while the Panthers fall to 1-3.
The first half of the game saw an intense pitching duel as there was only one combined hit through four total innings. Conner Woods carried the way early for the Lumberjacks by going 4.1 innings on the bump and only allowing one run off of one hit, picking up five strikeouts along the way.
The scoring finally started in the top of the fifth when the Panthers picked up their only run of the day by scoring on a bases-load hit by pitch. The Lumberjacks started heating up the bats in the bottom half of the inning, starting with a Tom Biggs double. Following a walk, Cody Fleischer put the 'Jacks on the board with a two-run double to right field. A couple of batters of later, Alex Rodgers drove in Fleischer with a RBI single. Cal Martin then joined the party by driving in two more runs with another single. After five innings of play, the Lumberjacks led 5-1.
Rodgers kept his bat hot and recorded another RBI single in the bottom of the seventh. After stealing second base, Rodgers then scored on a groundout to second base by Clayton Loranger. The scoring continued to the eighth inning when Scout Sanders launched a triple to left center field which brought in Sam Adams and Cole Hill. Loranger then singled to right field to bring in Sanders and his second RBI of the day. Alex Gomez drove in the final Lumberjack run of the day with a double to right center and the 'Jacks went into the final inning with an 11-1 lead.
Skyler Jaco went the final three innings on the mound for the 'Jacks and struck out the side in the top of the ninth to close out the game and give the Lumberjacks their first win of the season.
Rodgers had a big play at the plate today, going 2-for-4 with two RBI's, three runs, and a walk. Loranger, Martin, Fleischer, and Sanders all picked up two RBI's on the night as well.
The 'Jacks now hit the road for the Sugarland Classic as they take on Houston Christian University on Friday, February 24th with first pitch at 7:00 p.m.
