Box Score
TROY, Ala. – The Troy University baseball team fell to Jacksonville State 7-3 at Riddle-Pace Field on Tuesday night.
Â
The Trojans (10-9, 1-1 SBC) fell behind early after Jacksonville State scored five runs on four hits off Troy starter Jesse Nelson (1-1), who was saddled with the loss. Austin Sullivan entered the game after Levi Tate had tossed 1 1/3 innings of relief to turn in a career performance. Sullivan pitched six scoreless innings allowing just two hits and striking out seven on 78 pitches.
Â
Clay Holcomb walked in the bottom of the first inning and advanced to second on a Garrett Pitts ground ball. Holcomb would steal third and later score when Trevin Hall reached on an error. The Gamecocks would add a run in the second before Troy could answer in the fourth.
Â
Trevin Hall tripled to lead off the fourth and scored on a David Hall ground out. Nick Masonia then singled and scored on a TJ Binder single to right field.
Â
Jacksonville State (12-8) would add another run in the ninth to cap the scoring.
Â
The Trojans will host Alabama State on Wednesday. The teams will finish their suspended game from last week at 6 p.m. before beginning the regularly scheduled game. Troy led the suspended game 8-5 in the top of the eighth inning.
