Troy Rallies Late to Claim Victory
2/21/2015 6:15:00 PM | Baseball
Pensacola, Florida – The Troy University baseball team scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh to claim a 2-1 victory over North Florida on Saturday at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium in the Cox Diamond Invitational.
Â
Trailing 1-0, Bert Givens led off the home seventh with a double down the left field line. A batter later, Clay Holcomb reached on an error and Trevin Hall was intentionally walked before Cameron Sanders entered as a pinch hitter and earned a full-count walk to drive home the tying run. With two outs, Nick Masonia ripped a single into left field to give the Trojans the lead.
Â
Grant Bennett (2-0) was stellar in his second start allowing one run on just three hits in seven innings of work. Jeremy McGowan tossed a scoreless eighth and Marc Skinner pitched the ninth to earn his first save of the season.
Â
North Florida scored its lone run in the second inning after a pair of Troy errors allowed a runner to reach and eventually score.
Â
The win marked the 700th NCAA victory for head coach Bobby Pierce; he is now just 11 wins shy of passing Chase Riddle as Troy's all-time winningest coach.
Â
Troy will take on Nicholls at 2:30 p.m. Sunday. The game will be broadcast live on WTBF 94.7 FM and streamed on TroyTrojans.com.
