Brodeur strikes out five in win over TMU

PIKEVILLE, Ky. - University of Pikeville baseball won their final AAC home series of the season with a 5-4 victory over Truett McConnell Sunday afternoon.  

TMU drew first blood in game three with a two-out single to left, but their lead was short-lived. Cam Revolt got the Bears offense rolling in the bottom of the first with a one-out triple, his fifth three-bagger of the season. Noah Helton walked one batter later, then Revolt tapped the dish after a sacrifice fly by Austin Gurney. With two outs, Tyler Maynard singled to left and Helton scored all the way from first after an errant throw to the plate. After one inning, UPIKE led 2-1.  

Truett McConnell knotted the score at 2-2 in the third, but the Bears took the lead right back one frame later. Noah Helton belted a fastball to the gap in right center and scored two batters later after Tyler Maynard reached on an infield single.  

Just like the third inning, TMU tied the game in the top of the sixth, but the Bears retook the lead in the bottom frame. Hunter Ferguson hit a one out single, then Connor Moody entered the game as a courtesy runner. Moody advanced to second after a wild pitch, then scored after a two-out single to right by Riley Paulino.  

UPIKE added to its lead in the seventh when Austin Gurney blasted his 11th home run of the season. TMU got a run back in the eighth, setting up for a dramatic finish in the ninth.  

Richtter Castillo checked in the game in the eighth and took the hill again in the ninth with the game and the series on the line. After the first two hitters walked, Castillo and the Bears locked TMU down. Castillo struck the next batter out looking, retired the next batter 5-3, then a line out to Cam Revolt ended the game and gave UPIKE the series victory.  

Kameron Brodeur had a good start on the hill for UPIKE, hurling 96 pitches over 6.0 innings in which he allowed three runs (one earned) on eight hits and striking out five. 

Bears baseball is now 26-14 (18-8 AAC) following Sunday's win over TMU. UPIKE will play its final home game of the season Tuesday afternoon against Alice Lloyd with first pitch set for 3 p.m.
