KEY MOMENTS
  • A two-out error opened the floodgates for Florida Southern in the bottom of the first.  After Austin Mauer reached on the Eckerd miscue, FSC strung together a triple, single, and two-run homerun before Dillon McCollough got out of the inning.
  • The Mocs scored again in the second on a two-out error for a 5-0 lead.
  • Chase Achuff led off the fourth inning with a double and came home one batter later on Mitch Calandra's RBI single for Eckerd's first run.
  • FSC blew the game open in the bottom of the fourth, once again doing the majority of its damage with two outs.  A pair of singles and a sacrifice fly plated the first run of the inning, but McCollough struck out Oscar Villaman for the second out.  However, the Mocs went on to score five more runs before Luis Duran recorded the final out in relief.
  • Florida Southern continued to add to its lead with three runs in the fifth and five in the sixth that included a grand slam for Hayden Marze.
  • Justin Glover brought in Eckerd's final run with a two-out double in the sixth to score Keith Leavitt, Jr.
  • FSC added two more runs in the eighth on a hit batter with the bases loaded and a sacrifice fly.
NOTES AND NUMBERS
  • Seven of the Mocs' 21 runs were unearned as the result of four Triton errors.
  • Achuff, Calandra, and Leavitt, Jr. each went 2-for-4 for Eckerd.  Leavitt, Jr. extended his hitting streak to 11 games.
  • The Triton pitching staff combined for 13 strikeouts.
