Baseball drops doubleheader to Saint Francis (Ind.)

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – It was a tough day of work for UPIKE baseball on Sunday, losing both ends of a doubleheader to Saint Francis (Ind) in the weekend finale.

Game 1 – USF wins 9-3

The day's first game started well for the Bears, who jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning.

Eduardo Bello got the inning started by getting hit by the pitch and one batter later Demarco Miller brought him home with an RBI triple. Miller came home to score himself on a perfect sacrifice squeeze bunt from Coby Campbell.

USF scored once in the third before delivering a haymaker blow in the fourth with a five-run inning.

UPIKE was able to get one run back in the bottom of the fourth with a pair of doubles from Campbell and Noah Helton to cut the lead to 6-3, but that would be all the scoring the Bears could muster for the rest of the game.

Game 2 – USF wins 19-8

The second game of the doubleheader was one that got ugly quick for te Bears as the Cougars busted the game open in the later innings to win 19-8.

Saint Francis scored three runs in the first inning but UPIKE leveled the game in the bottom of the inning. UPIKE loaded the bases with no one out to start the rally.

Noah Helton scored on a wild pitch, then Anthony Houk continued the scoring with an RBI single to score Royce Brittentime and Hayden Jung picked up an RBI on a sacrifice fly.

SFU would score again in the top of the second to take the lead back, but took a decisive lead after scoring six times in the fourth.

UPIKE would continue to fight in the sixth though as Johnathon McKenzie scored two with a two RBI double and he would later score on an error to cut the lead to 10-6.

However, the Cougars would respond with a vengeance with nine more unanswered runs. Pikeville would score two more runs in its final inning with another double from McKenzie and an RBI single from Helton.

UPIKE baseball will look to bounce back on Tuesday with a road doubleheader against West Virginia Tech at Shawnee Sports Complex in Dunbar, W. Va.
