TROY, Alabama – The Troy University baseball team fell to Northwestern State 9-5 in the final game of the season opening four-game series at Riddle-Pace Field.
Â
Trojan starter Tucker Simpson (0-1) struggled early walking three batters and allowing five runs on three hits in just 1 1/3 innings. The Demons took advantage of four Troy errors, scoring their nine runs on just five hits.
Â
Trailing 5-0 in the third, the Trojans got things going offensively. Brody Binder started the half inning with a single up the middle and one batter later Matt Sanders walked. Nick Masonia followed with a single to load the bases setting the table for David Hall's two-RBI double down the right field line. Two pitches later, Logan drove in another run on a single to cut the Northwestern State lead to 5-3.
Â
Hall finished the game 2-for-4 and the series 7-for-17 with six RBIs. With his two-hit performance, Hall now has multiple hits in 29 of 66 career games.
Â
The Trojans were unable to pull any closer, however, as the Demons responded in the fourth inning. A pair of Troy miscues led to four Northwestern State runs on just one hit.
Â
Matt Sanders drove in his seventh run of the series in the seventh on a single and a Brody Binder base hit plated another run in the ninth. Sanders finished the series 10-for-19 with 15 total bases and five runs scored.
Â
Clay Holcomb walked in the ninth to extend his reached base streak to 20 games; he also stole his 51st career base putting him two stolen bases shy of cracking Troy's career top ten.
Â
Five pitchers saw action on the hill in the game for Troy with Austin Crook and Perez Knowles both made their Trojan debuts.
Â
Troy finishes 3-1 on the weekend leaving head coach Bobby Pierce just 12 wins shy of passing Chase Riddle for the school's all-time wins record.
Â
Troy will travel to Pensacola to take part in the Cox Diamond Invitational over the weekend. The Trojans will face Saint Louis at 3 p.m. on Friday, North Florida at 3 p.m. on Saturday and Nicholls at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday.
