Offense manages just one hit against Golden Eagle pitching
DAVENPORT, Fla. – St. Cloud State Baseball (8-7, 5-1 NSIC) dropped game four in Florida as they were defeated by Ashland (7-5, 0-0 GMAC), 4-0. The Huskies were shutout for the first time this season, as the Ashland pitching staff allowed just one hit.
Ashland took the lead in the second inning against Huskies sophomore starter AJ Price (Neenah, Wis.) with a two-out RBI single. The Golden Eagles would add two more in the third on a two-run double to increase the lead to 3-0. Price would bounce back to strand a few Ashland base runners across his five innings of work.
The Huskies had baserunners in the first and third on walks, as redshirt senior Liam Moreno (Sun Prairie, Wis.) and redshirt junior Hayden Frank (St. Michael, Minn.) both reached on the free pass. The Huskies were unable to capitalize, as they went hitless until redshirt senior Eric Bello (Manati, Puerto Rico) lined a two-out single in the fifth.
Ashland would scratch across one more in the bottom of the eighth on a single, error, and sacrifice bunt to push the score to 4-0. The Golden Eagles closed it out with a 1-2-3 ninth inning.
