LWC Baseball swept by CU in MSC series Saturday By Charles Balcom Campbellsville, KY - The Lindsey Wilson baseball team was swept by Campbellsville in a three-game Mid-South Conference series with two losses on Saturday to the host Tigers at HIG Field. After dropping the opening game of the series 3-1 on Friday night, the 10th-ranked Blue Raiders (26-14, 7-5 MSC) fell 6-1 in the first game of the day on Saturday before blowing a five-run lead and dropping the nightcap 6-5 to the Tigers (22-11, 7-5 MSC). Lindsey Wilson managed just seven runs during the three-game stretch, collecting 17 hits on the weekend while stranding 14 runners. The Blue Raiders' three-game losing streak is the longest of the season. Lindsey Wilson had not lost two games in a row since the first weekend of the year back on Feb. 5. GAME 1 Just as offense was a struggle for the Blue Raiders in the series opening loss on Friday night, Lindsey Wilson once again managed to put up just one run on five hits in the nine-inning 6-1 loss to the Tigers to start things on Saturday. That lone run came in the top of the ninth on a sacrifice fly to break up the shutout, but the Blue Raiders were unable to bring the score any closer. Campbellsville put Lindsey Wilson in a deficit early after scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning. The Tigers had four hits in the frame, taking advantage of a Blue Raider error and scoring twice on a pair of bunt squeeze plays. The game went scoreless from the second to the fifth innings, with starters Daniel Ferrell and Mario Morales trading the scoreless frames. Morales retired a string of eight-consecutive batters and never faced more than four batters in an inning during the stretch, while Ferrell allowed just three base runners. Campbellsville was finally able to get to Ferrell again in the bottom of the sixth, scoring one run on a Blue Raider error, and the next run using another bunt squeeze play to extend the Tiger lead to 5-0. Lindsey Wilson was retired in order in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings by Morales before Edgar Lebron finally reached base on a hit by pitch in the ninth to end the streak of 10-straight retired batters going back to the fifth. Campbellsville added an insurance run in the eighth on a single, walk, and another single, and the Blue Raiders were unable to jumpstart any momentum in the ninth as the Tigers took game one 6-1. Morales improved to 5-3 with the complete-game win, throwing just 91 pitches and recording seven strikeouts. Ferrell fell to 6-2 in the loss, throwing six complete innings allowing two earned runs on six hits with three walks and four strikeouts. Austin Atwell recorded two of Lindsey Wilson's five hits, while Jan Carlos Ortiz provided the lone RBI. Six different Tigers recorded an RBI in the win. GAME 2 The nightcap saw Campbellsville respond to a 5-0 Blue Raider lead with six unanswered runs in the third and fourth innings to win 6-5 in a scheduled seven-inning affair. The Blue Raiders took their first lead of the day after plating one run in the top of the first. Alec Salcedo reached to start the game on an error, moving around to second and third on a sacrifice bunt and groundout before scoring on a wild pitch for the 1-0 lead. After a scoreless second, the Blue Raider offense finally showed some signs of life in the top of the third with a four-run inning, sending all nine batters to the plate. Fabian Chirino reached second to start the frame on a Tiger error, moving to third on a wild pitch. Salcedo then doubled to score Chirino to make it a 2-0 game. Edgar Lebron singled to the infield to put runners on the corners, and Aaron Ashton walked to load the bases with no outs. The Blue Raider scoring threat took a massive hit when Atwell grounded out into a 5-2 double play, but Jayden Jackson came through with a two-out, three-run homer to make it a 5-0 lead for Lindsey Wilson. That lead was quickly trimmed down to two after the Tigers responded with three runs in the bottom half of the third inning, doing so with a walk, double, fielding error, groundout, another walk and a single to make it a 5-3 game. Lindsey Wilson attempted to answer in the top of the fourth, but a fly out left runners stranded on second and third. Campbellsville was able to keep the offensive momentum rolling in the bottom of the fourth, scoring one run on a two-out single before Nestor Linares gave the Tigers their first lead of the game with a two-run home run to make it a 6-5 ballgame. Lindsey Wilson was then retired in order across the final three innings, including three strikeouts in the top of the seventh to end the game and give the Tigers the three-game sweep. Aaron Doughty (3-4) suffered the loss, allowing six runs, five earned, on four hits in his four innings. Campbellsville's Nick Morehead earned the win as he allowed five runs, three earned, on six hits in his four innings. Jake Pannunzio collected his second save of the series after tossing the final two innings without allowing a hit. This story was posted on 2016-04-04 19:29:52
