Tigers Use the Long Ball in Series Opener

TOWSON, Md. – Towson got a three-run home run from A.J. Gallo and a two-run shot from Brady Policelli in defeating James Madison, 6-4, Friday afternoon in the series opener at Schuerholz Park.
 
How It Happened
  • The Dukes (13-17, 4-3 CAA) got on the board in the third inning after an error allowed a base runner to reach.  That runner came around to score on Ky Parrott's double to left field.
  • The Tigers (12-18, 3-1 CAA) answered back in the home-half of the inning as Policelli ripped a one-out double to left field and scored on a Chris Henze single through the right side.
  • JMU regained the lead the fifth after a leadoff single came in to score on a passed ball.
  • Towson had an answer yet again in the bottom of the inning as Colin Gimblet singled up the middle and Policelli followed with a line drive passed the shortstop.  Two batters later, Gallo hit his first home run to right field to make it a 4-2 game.
  • JMU would add a run in the sixth before the Tigers went deep again in the seventh on Policelli's two-run shot to left, his fourth of the season.
  • The Dukes looked to rally in the eighth inning as they started the frame with back-to-back hits.  The damage was minimized on a 6-4-3 double play.  JMU would manage to score one run in the frame to cut the lead to 6-4.
  • A leadoff walk in the ninth gave the Dukes some hope.  Lee Lawler would retire the next two hitters, before ending the game with a groundout to second.
  • Policelli was the catalyst of the 13-hit attack by going 4-for-4 with a double, home run, two RBIs and three runs scored.
  • Gallo collected two hits and drove in three runs, while Gimblet had two singles and scored two runs.
  • Skyler Morris (2-1) allowed three runs, one earned, on five hits and five strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
  • Lawler allowed one hits over the final two innings to earn his third save of the season.
  • Aaron Hoover (3-3) gave up four runs on 10 hits over six innings to take the loss.
