Pitching Struggles Continue to Haunt NCU Baseball as They Lose to Rhode Island College

Fort Meyers, FL -- North Central University's (NCU) Baseball team had signs of life during their game against the Rhode Island College Anchormen. Pitching struggles continue to haunt the team as ten total hits wasn't enough to propel the Rams to victory. This team is trending in the right direction and continuing to get better. 

Michael Escalante would pitch five total innings in his start today giving up a total of eight runs. NCU's defense improved from yesterday only giving up one run in the first and playing clean baseball until the fourth inning. The Anchormen would pile on five runs to start the fourth but The Blue and Gold wouldn't go down without a fight. After Mike Maanum was hit by a pitch and moving into scoring position, Julian Diaz would knock him in with a single. That run would open the flood gates for the Rams bats. Jon Roberts smacked a double and Diaz would score. Kyle Huerth followed it up with a single and an RBI. Daniel Montana hit a moonshot of a home run cutting the lead to one by the end of the fourth. Pitching struggles would end up costing the Rams as Rhode Island College would stack on six more runs in the top of the sixth. More runs on several hits for the Anchormen would ruin any chance of the comeback for the North Central University. In the bottom of the seventh Montana would hit his second home run of the game to make it 6-13. Huerth would hit a double in the eighth, but no rally would happen as NCU would lose the game 7-17.

Key Performers:
  • Daniel Montana (Tucson, AZ) had four hits on five at bats with a pair of  home runs and three RBI's.
  • Kyle Huerth (Moorpark, CA) had two hits with two RBI's on the day, earning himself a walk also.
  • Jon Roberts (Kyle, TX) had a double with an RBI.

Looking Ahead:

North Central's Baseball team will continue in Florida and take on Haverford College tomorrow (3/8) at 12pm EST.
