SERIES HISTORY/NOTES
With the win, Trevecca pulls within two games of the Flyers in the all-time series who lead 5-3 over the Trojans. Trevecca claimed the first all-time meeting in 2014, and the teams split last year's two meetings.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Trojan offense wasted little time finding the scoreboard as it was Ethan Harrison leading the bottom of the first off with a single. He later advanced to second off the wild pitch and scored off an RBI single from John O'Dwyer. With one out in the second, Harrison opened up the game with a grand slam home run, his first of the season. The Trojans plated a run in the fourth, fifth and sixth to take an 8-0 lead into the seventh. Though the Flyers threatened with bases loaded in the eighth, the Trojans held on for their fourth win of the season and third victory at Jackson Field.
PLAYER STATS REPORT
Luis Rodriguez started and pitched five scoreless innings on the mound. Rodriguez (1-1) earned his first win as Trojan by recording nine strikeouts, allowing just two hits and issuing three walks. The Trojan bullpen of Carson McClure (2 innings) along with Cal Burgett (1) and Hayden Robbins (1) combined for five strikeouts and just three hits. At the plate, Ethan Harrison led the way going 2-4 with four RBIs and two runs scored. No other Trojan recorded a multi-hit game, though David Milam reached base three times with a trio of walks and John O'Dwyer 1-3 drove in a run and scored once.
