Tritons Take Series Opener at Barry, 4-2

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - For the fifth straight game, the Triton pitching staff locked down opposing hitters, this time on the road at Barry University as Eckerd emerged with a 4-2 win to open a three-game conference series.

Dillon McCollough went seven strong innings before turning the ball over to Joey Favetta, who worked out of a ninth-inning jam to earn his fourth save in a week.

Meanwhile, the Tritons used the long ball at the plate to generate offense on the strength of three home runs.

KEY MOMENTS
  • Bryan Torres gave Eckerd an early lead with a two-out solo home run in the top of the second inning.
  • Two innings later, Garrett Hiott added to the Triton lead with a solo home run on the first pitch of the at-bat. Eckerd had a chance to tack on more with runners at second and third, but Barry was able to get out of the inning.
  • Justin Glover doubled Eckerd's advantage in the top of the sixth, blasting a two-run home run on a full count over the right field fence for a 4-0 Triton lead.
  • A leadoff walk haunted Eckerd in the bottom of the seventh as it was followed by a two-run home run from Richie Solbavarro, ending McCollough's shutout bid. McCollough, however, bounced back to retire the next three batters including two via strikeout.
  • After retiring the first two batters in the top of the ninth, Joey Favetta loaded the bases following an error and two walks. He came through in the clutch again, though, getting Justin Lamazares to ground back to him for the final out of the game stranding the winning run at first.
NOTES AND NUMBERS
  • Six of Eckerd's nine hits went for extra bases with three home runs and three doubles.
  • Favetta has earned a save in his last four appearances, all in conference play.
  • All six runs scored in the game were via home runs.
  • Eckerd's pitching staff has allowed only 12 runs in the last five games.
