Walk-off Wild Pitch Gives Troy Baseball Sweep Over Appalachian State
4/10/2016 5:18:00 PM | Baseball
TROY, Alabama – The Troy baseball team completed the sweep over Appalachian State as Trevor Davis scored the winning-run via wild pitch and gave the Trojans a 3-2 win on Sunday at Riddle-Pace Field.
"We did a good job taking advantage of their struggles throwing strikes late in the contest," head coach Mark Smartt said. "I thought our competition level at the end raised up again. To get the win like we did, I think it says a lot about our team and our ability to stay after it and keep playing.
Troy (20-13, 6-6 Sun Belt) tied the game in the ninth inning as Austin Hulsey walked with the bases loaded and drove in the Trojans' first run. The next batter, Brandon Lockridge drove in the tying run as the very next pitch hit him and tied the game at two. A force out at home and a lineout to left field took the game into extra innings.
Trevor Davis scored the walk-off run in the 12th as he led off the inning with a double through the left side. He advanced to third on a fly out to right field by Joey Denison. He scored on a wild pitch thrown by Luke Watts that gave Troy the 3-2 victory.
Lucas Brown and Cory Gill were stellar on the mound. Gill earned the win (2-1) pitching three innings of relief. He only allowed one hit, two walks and struck out four. Brown went nine innings and tied a career-high nine strikeouts. He only allowed two runs to score and gave up eight hits.
Matt Schaeffer (0-1) suffered the loss for the Mountaineers (8-24, 3-12). He pitched three innings, gave up three hits and one costly run that ended the game.
The Trojans were outhit by the Mountaineers 9-5, but five different Trojans had hits on the day and Davis had the lone RBI and extra base hit, his seventh double of the year.
The win on Saturday improved Troy's win streak to six games. They will look to make it seven in a row when they face Jacksonville State on Tuesday night at Riddle-Pace Field. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. and the first 500 fans will receive a free t-shirt.
