Stricker Dominates Out of Bullpen in Victory Over Harvard

WINSTON SALEM, N.C. – Junior Kyle Stricker was dominant out of the bullpen as he allowed just one hit over 6.2 shutout innings as Towson won its second-straight game, 6-5, over Harvard Sunday morning at Couch Ballpark.
 
How it Happened
  • The Tigers (2-7) got on the board in the second inning as a walk, hit by pitch and a Richie Palacios single loaded the bases with one out. 
  • Two batters later, Brady Policelli delivered a two-run single through the left side.
  • The Crimson (2-2) responded in the home-half of the inning as a throwing error by the Tigers opened the door for a four-run inning.  After the inning should have been over, Patrick McColl delivered a two-run single, and John Fallon followed with a two-run double.
  • A pair of freshman started another Tiger rally in the third as a Richard Miller single and a Cuinn Mullins one-out double runners on second and third with one out.
  • Tristan Howerton drove in one run with a groundout to second, before Palacios beat out a bunt single to tie the game 4-4.
  • Harvard regained the lead in the home-half of the inning on an RBI double from Drew Reid.
  • Stricker would enter the game at that point and shut down any more offense for the Crimson.
  • Stricker retired the first 14 hitters he faced before allowing a leadoff single in the eighth.  He bounced back and retired the next six hitters to earn his first career victory as a Tiger. 
  • When his day was done, Stricker surrendered just the one hit and struck out four over 6.2 innings.  He was very efficient in needing only 69 pitches.
  • Towson would get the offense it needed to take the lead in the fifth as Miller started the inning by drawing a walk.  Colin Gimblet followed with a single to right.  After the ball was misplayed, both runners advanced and put runners on second and third with no outs.
  • Mullins tied the game with an RBI single to right center.
  • Palacios followed with an RBI groundout to first that drove in what turned out to be the game-winning run.
 
Inside the Numbers
  • Towson won its second-straight game after dropping its first seven.
  • Brady Policelli led the offense by going 3-for-5 with a pair of RBIs.
  • Richie Palacios added two hits and drove in two runs.
  • Cuinn Mullins went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored.
  • As a team, Towson 5-for-14 with runners in scoring position and 4-for-12 with two outs.
