Tritons Take Final Game of Opening Weekend Series

ROME, Ga. - After a pair of solid pitching performances carried the way for Eckerd baseball on opening day, the Tritons' bats came alive on Sunday in the series finale as Eckerd defeated Shorter, 10-6, to take the series.

The Tritons trailed 4-3 after three innings, but scored four runs over the next three frames while keeping Shorter from crossing the plate.  A two-run home run by Bryan Torres helped add to the lead in the eighth.

Justin Carrillo earned his first collegiate win in relief, tossing 3-1/3 hitless innings.

KEY MOMENTS
  • For the third time this weekend, Eckerd pushed the game's first run across the plate.  Sam Cochrane and Mitch Calandra opened the game with back-to-back doubles for the quick lead.
  • Keith Leavitt, Jr., delivered a two-out, two-run single in the top of the third to tie the game at 3-3.
  • The Hawks retook the lead in the bottom of the third, but an error in the top of the fourth allowed Torres to score from second after he reached with a one-out double.
  • After Santos Grande reached on an error and advanced to third to lead off the fifth, Garrett Hiott's RBI groundout gave Eckerd the lead for good.
  • The Tritons added insurance runs in the sixth via a Sam Cochrane RBI double and a balk that brought Torres home.  EC scored three more times in the eighth, highlighted by a two-run home run by Torres before Hiott added a two-out RBI single.
  • The Hawks scored twice in the bottom of the eighth and threatened to add more with the bases loaded and one out.  However, Cameron Lanzilli and Jack Iervolino both coaxed pop-ups to strand the tying run at the plate.
  • Gardner Nutter worked a solid ninth inning, only allowing a two-out single that was stranded after he got Isaiah Maddela to line out to left for the final out of the game.
NOTES AND NUMBERS
  • Cochrane went 3-for-3 and walked twice, reaching base safely in all five plate appearances.
  • Robin Allen took a no-decision in his first start of the year, allowing four runs on three hits in four innings of work.
  • The Triton infield shuffled a bit from opening day with Calandra moving from catcher to third base, Nick Conti shifting from second base to shortstop, and Torres moving from third to second.  Glover got the start behind the plate.
