Trojans Fall to Saint Louis in Ninth
2/20/2015 5:42:00 PM | Baseball
Pensacola, Florida – With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Saint Louis catcher Jake Henson singled to the gap in left-center field to score the winning run, lifting the Billikens to a 2-1 decision over the Trojans on Friday in the Cox Diamond Invitational in Pensacola, Florida.
Â
Sophomore Marc Skinner (0-1) retired the first batter in the ninth before surrendering a single. The 2014 Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year then picked the runner off of first for the second out. Just as the momentum looked to shift into the Trojans favor, the game again shifted. Skinner hit a batter and walked another before allowing the walk-off single.
Â
Corey Childress got the start on the mound and was fantastic through seven innings. The freshman didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning. He allowed one run on three hits for the game.
Â
Saint Louis starter Josh Moore was equally as good, allowing one run on five hits through eight innings of work. Zach Girrens (1-0) tossed a scoreless ninth in relief to earn the win.
Â
The Billikens (2-3) struck first in the seventh inning on a two-out double from Henson, scoring the runner from first. Before that point, Childress hadn't allowed a runner to advance past first base.
Â
The Trojans (3-2) tied the game in the eighth. Trevin Hall singled with two outs then quickly stole second. Tripp Calhoun then rolled a single through the right side of the infield to score the run.
Â
Troy had a chance to take the lead in the top of the ninth. Nick Masonia walked to start the frame and Shaw Pinnell came on to pinch run. Pinnell advanced to second on a wild pitch, then, with two outs, stole third. A fly out, however, ended the inning and the threat.
Â
The Trojans will return to action on Saturday as they take on North Florida at 3 p.m.
