Beers shuts outs Skyhawks over final six innings
BOX SCORE
Murray State pushed across five runs in the top of the second inning, and starter Tyler Beersmade the lead hold up as the Breds handed UT Martin a 6-3 defeat in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday afternoon at Skyhawk Field.
The Breds (11-13, 3-1 OVC) got on the board in the first inning as Ty Stetson reached on a passed ball on strike three and went to second on a sacrifice bunt off the bat of Brandon Elliott. With two outs, Jacob Rhodes plated Stetson with a single through the right side.
The Skyhawks (5-20, 1-3 OVC) responded in the home-half of the first with Trey Karlen being hit by a pitch and stealing second. Chase Okey followed with a single through the right side, and when the ball was bobbled in right field, Karlen came in to score. Later in the inning, Phil Sorensen plated a run with a single up the middle before the third run of the inning scored on a wild pitch.
MSU answered in a big way with two outs in the second, sending 11 men to the plate. Zach Noonan was hit by a pitch and stole second. With one out, Elliot Frey doubled off a drawn-in third baseman to score Noonan. Elliott started the two-out rally with a triple into the right-field corner. Travis Isaak then delivered an RBI double to left field. Rhodes walked and Brandon Eggenschwiler beat out an infield single to load the bases for Paul Ritzheimer to deliver a two-run single to left field.
Beers (3-3) settled in after the first inning and did not allow another run to score over the next six innings. He finished the game by allowing three runs on eight hits and three strikeouts over seven innings. Dan Tobik (1-4) took the loss after allowing six runs, five earned, on 12 hits and 10 strikeouts over eight innings.
Cameron Finch (4) sealed the victory after he struck out three and did not allow a baserunner over two innings.
Rhodes led the offense by going 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Eggenschwiler also went 3-for-4.
The two teams will play the second game of the doubleheader approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first game.
