TALLAHASEE, Fla. | The Alabama State University baseball team fell to Florida A&M University, 7-2, on Sunday.

Trey Power (3-3) got the ball to start for Alabama State (13-13, 3-6) and took the loss. Zane Baltz was a bright spot for the Hornets, coming out of the bullpen and throwing one scoreless inning, allowing no hits, with no walks and two strikeouts.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Hornets were trailing 4-0 in the third inning when they first put runs on the board. Niguel Jenkins came across to score the lone run of the inning for Alabama State and get them on the board.
