Hall, Crook Lead Trojans to Victory over Samford
2/24/2015 9:23:00โฏPM | Baseball
TROY, Alabama โ Trevin Hall continued to swing a hot bat and Austin Crook was solid in his first start as Troy downed Samford 6-0 at Riddle-Pace Field on Tuesday.
ย
Hall finished 3-for-4 in the game including a 3-run home run in the third inning. In the last three games, Hall is 7-for-12 with a double, two home runs, and six RBIs. The senior doubled in the second inning Tuesday and looped an RBI single in right field in the fifth.
ย
Crook (1-0), in his first start, tossed five scoreless innings allowing just three hits and struck out three. Samford's (3-4) biggest threat against Crook came in the third inning when Austin Edens led off with a single and Richard Greene followed with a double. Crook struck out the next batter then forced a pair of ground balls to end the inning and strand both runners.
ย
Troy (6-2) opened the scoring in the first inning on consecutive two-out doubles from Logan Hill and David Hall. For Hall, it was his 25th career two-out RBI. In the second, Matt Sanders laced the team's fourth double of the contest, scoring Trevin Hall and doubling the lead to 2-0.
ย
Lucas Brown pitched two innings of relief striking out three while allowing just one hit. Perez Knowles pitched a perfect eighth and Marc Skinner tossed the ninth to close out the game. The Trojan pitching staff now owns a team ERA of 1.51, placing them in the top 10 in the NCAA. It was the third shutout of the season for the Troy staff.
ย
Clay Holcomb continued to find a way on base as he finished 1-for-4 and has now reached base in 23 of his last 24 games. In the second inning, Holcomb stole his 52ndย and 53rd career bases, moving him into a tie for ninth on Troy's career list.
ย
The Trojans scored five of their six runs with two outs on Tuesday and have now plated 11 of their last 16 runs with two outs in the inning.
ย
Troy's 6-2 record is the best since starting the 2013 campaign with the same mark. The Trojans last started a season 7-2 in 2011.
ย
Tuesday's game was originally scheduled to be played in Birmingham but recent heavy rain forced the schools to flip their home-and-home dates. The Trojans will visit Samford on April 14.
ย
Troy will host Southern Mississippi in a three-game series over the weekend. Admission to Saturday's Hits for Heroes contest will be FREE with donations being accepted throughout the game.
