BASEBALL GAMEDAY: Tritons Welcome Webber International for Midweek Contest

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - After a pair of late-inning comeback wins on Saturday, the Eckerd baseball team returns to the field to host Webber International tonight at 6:00 PM.

GAME 4: Webber International (2-0) at Eckerd (2-1) | 6:00 PM | Turley Athletic Complex
COVERAGE: Watch | Stats

LAST TIME OUT: The Tritons opened the 2017 season last weekend hosting the University of Montevallo (Ala.) in a three-game series.  The Falcons used a five-run ninth inning on Friday to spoil the debut of new head coach Josh Beauregard, but the Tritons returned the favor on Saturday with some big production in the seventh and eighth innings for 8-4 and 15-14 wins to take the series.

IMPRESSIVE DEBUT: It took no time for freshman Sam Cochrane to adjust to the college game.  The Ocala, Florida, native debuted by going 7-for-14 over the weekend series with a team-high seven RBIs.  His first career hit was a bases-loaded triple on Friday. Another freshman, Chase Achuff, recorded a base hit in his first collegiate at-bat over the weekend.

STRONG START: After an impressive freshman campaign last season, sophomore Dillon McCollough picked up where he left off on the mound.  The southpaw got the start on Friday and fanned 11 batters over 5-2/3 innings in a no-decision.  Classmate Alex Moore also had a solid outing on Saturday, striking out six in six innings.
