Racers Split Doubleheader With Saints
3/4/2017 6:38:00 PM | Baseball
Tyler Lawrence and Kipp Moore each drove in three for Murray State in its 11-3 victory over Siena in the second game of a doubleheader with the Saints played at Reagan Field. The Racers dropped the first game of the day, 8-3.
After the Siena (1-9) opened game two with a run in the top of the first, Moore delivered his second leadoff home run of the season to tie the game at 1-1. The Racers (7-3) would later take their first lead of the game in the second when Caleb Hicks scored on a wild pitch.
In the top of the third, the Saints would tie the game at 2-2 with a solo homer to left. However, MSU would respond in the bottom half of the inning to take the lead for good on a Lawrence sacrifice fly to deep center field. Two batters later, Davis Sims hit an RBI single up the middle to make it 4-2 Racers. After a Brandon Gutzler RBI single in the fourth, Siena cut the Racer lead to 5-3 in the sixth, but that was as close as the Saints would get the rest of the contest.
Lawrence made it 6-3 with a single down the left field line in the bottom of the sixth and in the seventh, the Racers poured it on with a five-run inning. Moore's two-run double down the line did the biggest damage for MSU in the inning. Lawrence also had an RBI double and Gutzler got a sac fly in the inning as well.
Both Moore and Lawrence had a pair of hits in the win but Adam Bauer, Gutzler and Hicks all tallied three hits each and scored multiple runs in the game. Gutzler also had two ribbies in the nightcap.
Austin Dubsky picked up his second win of the season as he got the start in game two. Dubsky pitched 5.2 innings and allowed three runs, two of which were earned while striking out a career-high eight batters and allowing just five hits. John Lollar and Justin Perkins were great out of the bullpen as the duo combined to keep the Saints hitless the final 3.1 innings of the game. Lollar pitched 2.1 of those and struck-out a season-best five.
In the first game of the day, Bauer and Lawrence both went 2-for-4 in the loss and were the only two Racers with multiple hits as MSU was out-hit 14-8 in the loss. The Racers took a 1-0 lead after an RBI double from Bauer in the third and also took a 3-2 lead in the fourth when Davis Sims scored on an error.
However, Siena would respond to tie in the sixth and would eventually take control with two runs in both the seventh and eighth innings before tacking on an insurance run in the ninth. The Saints collected five extra-base hits in the first game.
Ryan Dills got the start and a no decision in game one as he pitched 5.1 innings and allowed two runs off six hits and struck-out nine batters. Luke Brown was saddled with the loss as he allowed three earned runs in 1.2 innings of relief.
The Racers and Saints close their series Sunday at Reagan Field. First pitch is set for noon. Trevor McMurray is expected to get the ball on the mound for MSU.
