One Night Not Enough In Opening Day of OVC Tournament
5/27/2021 11:04:00 PM | Baseball
The Racers opening game of the OVC Tournament was suspended in the tenth due to rain.
One day was not enough as the #2 seed Murray State Racers opening game of the 2021 OVC Baseball Tournament with the #3 seed Morehead State Eagles was suspended in the tenth inning due to rain. The game is tied at six.
The Racers and the Eagles were able to get nine complete innings in before the rain started coming down.
Jordan Cozart is 3-for-4 at the plate with two home runs and five of the Racers' six RBIs. Bryson Bloomer has the other RBI and is 2-for-5 with a run scored.
Jake Slunder also has a three hit game going with his team-leading 22nd multi-hit game of the season.
Bloomer, Cozart and Slunder have combined for eight of the Racers' ten hits.
Morehead State built the lead as big as four runs, scoring a pair of runs in the second and fourth and added a single tally in the fifth to make it 5-1.
Cozart drove in the Racers first run of the game in the third and then hit his first home run of the night to dead center, a two-run shot, cutting the deficit to 5-3.
In the seventh, Slunder used his speed to beat out his second infield of the game and then advanced to second on a throwing error by the third baseman. The error proved costly as Bloomer singled through the right side to bring home Slunder closing the gap to one.
One batter later, Cozart crushed his second home run of the night to give the Racers their first lead of the night.
After Connor Holden retired the final batter of the eighth and the first two of the ninth, a pair of infield singles and a walk loaded the bases for the Eagles. A hit batter brought home the game tying run to send it to extras.
The top of the tenth was never started as the rain started coming down forcing the game to be suspended and postponed to 11 a.m. tomorrow. The Racers and Eagles will pick up where they left off.
