KEY MOMENTS
Game 1
  • Entering the fourth inning tied 2-2, Flagler blew the game open with a seven-run inning.  Jimmy Peck and Steven DiPuglia opened the inning with solo home runs and, after a strikeout, Flagler put together five straight hits on the way to five more runs in the frame before Eckerd was able to escape.
  • The Tritons got a run back in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI single by Bryan Torres, but Louis Pugliese and Nick Martinez held EC scoreless over the next four innings.
  • After the first two batters were retired in the bottom of the ninth, Eckerd strung together three straight hits to score a run.  Another scored on an error before Flagler's Kyle Hansen recorded the final out.
Game 2
  • It was Eckerd's turn to go on top early thanks to a five-run second inning, highlighted by a three-run home run by Keith Leavitt, Jr.  The Tritons scored again in the third on an RBI single by Tim Mira for a 6-0 lead.
  • Meanwhile, Robin Allen cruised through five shutout innings before an error finally allowed Flagler to score in the sixth.
  • The Tritons plated three more runs in the bottom of the sixth for a 9-1 lead as five straight runners reached base on four singles and a walk.  Mitch Calandra and Garrett Hiott each had RBI hits while Shane LeMaster drove in the final run on a sacrifice fly.
  • As it turned out, Eckerd needed nearly every one of those runs as Flagler rallied late.  The Saints scored one in the seventh and four in the eighth, heading into the ninth trailing 9-6.
  • In the top of the ninth, Flagler's first three batters reached base capped by Peck's RBI single, prompting a call to the bullpen to bring in Jack Iervolino.  Inheriting runners on the corners, Iervolino got two huge strikeouts before coaxing a pop-up to end the game.
NOTES AND NUMBERS
  • With his win in the finale, Allen has earned victories in his last three starts.  In those starts, he carries a 3.21 ERA with 23 strikeouts in 19-2/3 innings.
  • Nick Conti extended his hitting streak to eight games after going 1-for-4 in the opener and 2-for-5 in the finale.
  • Leavitt, Jr. has homered in three of his last four games and driven in runs in his last five.
  • Hiott drew four walks in the doubleheader, pushing his season total to 28 which ranks second in the conference.
  • The Tritons have won eight of their last 10 games.
