Saint Leo Scores Late, Sweeps Series From Eckerd

SAINT LEO, Fla. - Another late-inning rally by the Eckerd baseball team was thwarted by Saint Leo on Monday as the Lions broke a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the seventh inning, completing a series sweep.

Eckerd scored three times in the seventh to tie the game, but Saint Leo reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the inning.

HOW IT ENDED
Final: Saint Leo 5, Eckerd 3
Records: Eckerd 22-24 (10-17 SSC), Saint Leo 34-9 (17-7 SSC)

KEY MOMENTS
  • The Lions took an early lead via a two-out RBI single by Zach Scott in the bottom of the first.
  • Robin Allen kept Saint Leo's offense at bay over the next four innings before SLU played two more runs in the sixth again with two outs.
  • Eckerd was held scoreless by Ryan Nolan through the first six innings but finally broke through in the seventh.  Justin Glover walked and Nick Conti doubled to put runners at second and third. Glover scored on a grounder by Chase Achuff before Mitch Calandra and Garrett Hiott each delivered RBI singles to tie the game.
  • Saint Leo, however, retook the lead in the bottom of the inning loading the bases with two outs and scored the go-ahead run on a passed ball.
  • The Lions picked up their final run in the eighth on a two-out single by Amir Wright.
NOTES AND NUMBERS
  • All five of Saint Leo's runs came with two outs.
  • Achuff's hit streak came to an end at 25 games after going 0-for-3.  He did reach on a walk, however, to keep his reached base streak alive.
  • All three of Eckerd's starting pitchers in the series came away with no-decisions.  Allen allowed three runs on three hits in six innings in the finale.
  • Calandra had three of Eckerd's seven hits, pushing his batting average to .340.
