Tigers Bounce Back to Split Doubleheader

TOWSON, Md. – After being shutout in the first game of the doubleheader, the Towson University baseball team came back to shut out Norfolk State 5-0 in the second game of the doubleheader Sunday afternoon.  The Tigers fell 8-0 in the first game.
 
Game 1
  • The Spartans got a strong starting performance from Devin Hemmerich as the left hander allowed just one hit in a complete-game shutout victory.
  • NSU got all the offense they would need in the third as Terrence Pinkston and Justin Burrell delivered RBI base hits in the frame.
  • A sacrifice fly in the fifth and an RBI double from Roger Hall in the seventh helped to extend the lead. 
  • The Tigers lone hit in the game came in the eighth inning on an Andrew Cassard single to left field.
  • Kevin Ross (0-2) took the loss after giving up three runs on six hits over five innings.
 
Game 2
  • The second game was another dominating pitching matchup, this time from Tiger starter Michael Adams.
  • The junior right hander kept the Spartans off balance as he tossed six shutout innings.  He allowed just four hits and struck out seven.
  • Adams gave way to Kyle Stricker in the seventh and he continued what Adams started.  Stricker did not allow and hit over three shutout innings.
  • The Tigers got all the offense they would need in the first inning.  A.J. Gallo blooped a double and Richie Palacios was hit by a pitch.  Logan Burke then stepped in and lined a three-run home run over the fence in left field.
  • Towson added to the lead in the third inning after Burke reached on an error and stole second.  Richard Miller followed with a single through the right side to score Burke.
  • Palacios helped manufacture the fifth run in the eighth inning as he doubled off the fence in right and stole third.  Burke then drove him in with a groundout to third.
  • Burke finished the day 1-for-4 with a home run, four RBIs and two runs scored.
  • Palacios was 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored, while Miller added two hits and an RBI.
  • Jonathan Mauricio (0-1) took the loss after giving up four runs, three earned, on five hits over six innings.
  • The shutout was the first for the Tigers since blanking Delaware, 7-0, on May 10, 2014.
