Maroon Tigers Drop Doubleheader to Golden Rams

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 April 15, 2017  -- ALBANY, GA -- Unlike yesterday's 13-3 blowout, today's Morehouse-Albany State scores were more respectable. However, the outcome was the same and Morehouse lost both halves of the doubleheader, 5-3 and 6-3. 

In Game One:
The Rams jumped on Morehouse starter Daron Bowling for four earned runs in the second inning and another in the fifth. That was all the scoring necessary against the junior lefty who went the distance, giving up 10 hits, striking out four and walking two. 

The Maroon Tigers hammered out 11 hit, but could only push three runs across the plate. 

Catcher Zachary Lowe scored two of the Morehouse runs. The senior from Ellenwood, GA went 3-of-4 from the plate and drove in a run, with a triple in the seventh,when the Tigers staged a late rally. 
 
First baseman Xavier Floyd also went 3-of-4 from the plate. His single in the first inning drove in Lowe who had singled and advanced on a walk to Jared Maner. 

Freshman Isaiah Blassingame started the sixth-inning rally, with his first hit of the season, a single up the middle. However he was cut down at second, on a fielder's choice by Werten Bellamy, the freshman second baseman who recently returned to the lineup after a knee injury. 

In Game Two:
The Maroon Tigers collected six hits off four Rams pitchers, and scored three runs.

Shortstop Amyr Smith led off the game with a walk. He stole second and advanced to third on a passed ball. Second baseman Werten Bellamy also walked and advanced to second on a infield groundout by Kalean Ashford-Jones, as Smith scored. Bellamy scored on a single to right field by Jared Maner. 

Catcher Zachary Lowe scored the Tigers' third run in the fourth inning. Lowe led off with a single up the middle, advance on a single by Xavier Floyd and scored on a single by Isaiah Blassingame. 

 Right-handed pitcher Kristopher Skinner started the game, gave up six runs on seven hits in three innings. He was replaced by Jason Davis who pitched the final three innings. Davis gave up three hits, no runs and struck out four.
