Baseball Drops Saturday Game At Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – On a cold and rainy Saturday night, the Wofford College baseball team was defeated 8-1 by Jacksonville University at John Sessions Stadium. The Dolphins struck early with five runs in the first inning and held the Terriers to only one run in the sixth inning.
 
Wofford is 7-4 to begin the season, while Jacksonville University is now 2-8 overall. The Dolphins have clinched the weekend series heading into the finale on Sunday. The Terriers had seven hits in the game, while the Dolphins had nine.  
 
NOTABLES
  • Lawson Hill and Jack Renwick each had two hits for the Terriers. The Dolphins were led by Jackson Grabsky who was 4-of-4 on the night
  • Wofford starting pitcher Josh Vitus (0-1) gave up six runs on six hits in four innings. Matthew Marchal went three innings with two runs allowed on two hits and Devon Sharts had three strikeouts in an inning.
  • Jacksonville starter Mike Cassala (1-1) threw 5.2 innings with one run allowed on three hits, along with seven strikeouts.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • John Dempsey singled with two outs in the top of the first inning. In the bottom of the first, the Dolphins loaded the bases and scored on a hit by pitch. A wild pitch plated a run and a ground out pushed the lead to 3-0. Runs were driven in by a single and a double for a 5-0 score at the end of the first frame.
  • Both teams left one runner on base in the third inning and in the bottom of the fourth the Dolphins added a run on a wild pitch for a 6-0 advantage.
  • Wofford got on the board in the top of the sixth inning when Lawson Hill singled and stole second, scoring on a single by Nolen Hester for a 6-1 game.
  • In the bottom of the seventh, two Dolphins walked and with two outs a single drove in both runners for an 8-1 score.
  • Wofford left one runner on base in the eighth and ninth innings.
 
QUOTABLE
Head Coach Todd Interdonato – "That's the second night in a row we've put ourselves behind the eight ball by not playing our style. Josh Vitus rebounded well and gave us some length which is a sign of maturity. We have not been able to create any rhythm on offense which is when we are at our best. We have one more chance to put our style of play on the field tomorrow and looking forward to the opportunity."
 
UP NEXT
Wofford and Jacksonville University conclude the weekend series on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. Next week the Terriers host Presbyterian College on Tuesday at 6:00 p.m.
