Baseball | Bloomsburg Rallies Past Trevecca, 5-4

Box Score

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tim Kurucz's sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth lifted Bloomsburg University (7-7) to a 5-4 come-from-behind-victory over Trevecca Nazarene University (16-4) Monday afternoon in a non-conference baseball game at Jackson Field.

 

The contest concluded the Trevecca Baseball Classic which saw Bloomsburg, Mercyhurst University and Grand Valley State University come to the Music City.

 

Through the first five innings there were just four hits collected by the two teams.

 

After a long scoreless drought, Huskies centerfield Brad Smith hit a two-out double in the top of the sixth plating Damin Muth to give Bloomsburg a 1-0 lead.

 

In the home half of the sixth, Trevecca exploded for four runs. Nick Howell singled and later scored from second after a throwing error from BU's shortstop. Three batters later, Cameron Boyett reached on a fielder's choice plating Tyler Tichenor. After a wild pitch scored another Trojan base-runner, Ethan Hurt reached on a fielding error by shortstop plating Jeffrey Scarritt.

 

Trevecca led 4-1 after six innings.

 

The three-run deficit didn't faze the Huskies as they would tie the game in the eighth. Three-of-the-first four batters reached base on singles and then a bases-loaded, hit-by-pitch of Tim Ravel brought the score to 4-2. Brian Almand followed with a two-run single to left field tying the game at four.

 

In the top of the ninth, Kurucz sent a shot to right field and allowed Eric Frain to tag up and advance home for the go-ahead run.

 

Trevecca did get a runner in scoring position in the bottom of the ninth as Patrick Reed singled and then stole second. But Bloomsburg pitcher Tyler Hill (2-1) would induce a flyout to left field to end the game.

 

Hill tossed the last three innings of the game and allowed just one hit while fanning three. Muth was a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate while Almand drove in a team-high two runs.

 

Howell led TNU collecting a pair of hits. The five hits from Trevecca's offense were a season low. Alex Shoulders tossed five scoreless innings while Michael Donaldson (1-1) took his first loss of the season.

 

The Trojans return to action March 19 as they travel to face No. 29 University of Alabama in Huntsville (18-7) for a 5 p.m. contest.
