Nova Southeastern Completes Weekend Sweep of Eckerd

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - The 19th-ranked Nova Southeastern Sharks extended their conference winning streak to 17 games, taking both ends of a doubleheader from Eckerd on Saturday.

The series loss was Eckerd's first since being swept by then-No. 3 Florida Southern on March 16-17.

KEY MOMENTS
Game 1
  • The Sharks wasted little time in getting on the board, scoring three times in the first inning including a successful squeeze with one out.
  • NSU then blew the game open with a five-run fourth that featured back-to-back home runs by Nick Gallo and Andrew Liberty.  It was enough to chase EC starter Nick Alonzo, who was replaced by Cam Lanzilli.
  • Lanzilli allowed only one run over 4-1/3 innings of relief, but the Nova Southeastern trio of Brady Acker, Gil Torres, and Kyle Kilbourne limited the Triton to only two runs.  A sacrifice fly by Shane LeMaster drove in Garrett Hiott for Eckerd's first run in the sixth, and Jake Romine scored in the seventh on an error following a Nick Conti single.
Game 2
  • It was Eckerd's turn to jump on top early with a four-run first inning.  Chase Achuff's infield single drove in Conti with the bases loaded, and LeMaster then cleared the bases with a three-run double.
  • Both teams scored a run via a wild pitch with Nova Southeastern's run coming in the bottom of the first and Eckerd's in the top of the third.
  • Gallo's two-run single in the third for NSU cut the Tritons' lead to 5-3.
  • The Sharks exploded in the fifth for five runs, all of which came with two outs on four straight hits capped by a two-run homerun by Samuel Duran.
  • Eckerd pulled within a run in the eighth at 8-7 thanks to a two-out, two-run blast by Tim Mira.
  • Jack Iervolino stranded two runners in the bottom of the eighth, giving Eckerd a chance to extend the game in the ninth.  Hiott drew a two-out walk to put the tying run on base, but Shark closer Joe Strzelecki recorded the final out for his second save of the weekend.
NOTES AND NUMBERS
  • Achuff recorded hits in both ends of the doubleheader, extending his hitting streak to 21 games.  That ties Dan Capra for the longest hitting streak since 2011 and puts him one away from tying Minervino Labrador's mark of 22 straight set in 2010.
  • The Eckerd bullpen was highly effective in both games as Lanzilli, Jarid Salisbury, and Iervolino combined to allow only one run over 7-2/3 innings pitched.
  • The losses dropped Eckerd into a tie with Palm Beach Atlantic for fifth place in the conference standings.
