@BamaStateBB rebounds and run rules Alabama A&M

Rubber game of series set for 1 pm Sunday afternoon

MONTGOMERY, Ala. | Alabama State rebounded after a series-opening loss to Alabama A&M, with an 11-1 run-rule Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) victory over the Bulldogs at the Wheeler-Watkins Baseball Complex Saturday night.

Alabama State (10-9, 5-2 SWAC) jumped ahead early with five runs in the first, before they added another three in the second to build an insurmountable 8-0 lead early in the contest. The Hornets got on the board in the bottom of the first inning when Santiago Garcia singled home Eriq White for the 1-0 lead, before a bases loaded walk to Cristopher DeGuzman pushed home another run.

The Hornets added two more on a two-run single by Hunter May, before he stole second and allowed DeGuzman to score on the fielding error by the shortstop for the 5-0 lead.

Alabama State added three more in the second on a sacrifice fly from Eriq White and an RBI single from Chris Lewis to push the lead to 7-0. The lead grew as DeGuzman recorded a sacrifice fly to score Garcia and push the lead to 8-0.

After Alabama A&M scored their lone run in the third, the Hornets answered with one of their own on a wild pitch to push the lead to 9-1. They would another in the six on a fielding error, before walking off in the eighth on an RBI single by Garcia for the 11-1 margin.

Four Hornets picked up multiple hits on the night including Garcia who finished 3-for-4 with a pair of runs scored and a pair runs batted in. Yamil Pagan finished 2-for-5 with a run scored, while White finished 2-for-4 with a pair of runs scored and an RBI. Noel Cheneau finished 2-for-3 with a pair of walks on the night.

Darren Kelly (2-0) picked up his second consecutive victory, working 6.2 innings and allowed just one run off of three hits. He also struck out six in the victory.
