Towson Baseball Falls in Pair of Close Games vs. JMU

TOWSON, Md. – Finally getting to play after days of rain in the area, the Towson University baseball team played a couple of close games with JMU but fell in both halves of the doubleheader 4-2 (7 inn.) and 5-4.
 
Towson (10-36, 1-16 CAA) had early leads in each contest against JMU (26-20, 11-6 CAA), but the Dukes came back from down two in game one and down three in game two for the victories.
 
Key Stats:
  • James Moses hit safely in each contest, combining to go 3-for-7 with three runs in the two games.  Despite being hitless in game one, Nolan Young went 4-for-5 with a run and a pair of stolen bases in the second contest.  Elijah Dickerson was 1-for-5 in the doubleheader, having a double and three runs driven in.
  • Game one starter Ethan Pecko (0-3) got the loss, going 4.2 innings with four runs, just two earned, with six strikeouts.  Cam Clark completed the first game with two-and-a-third scoreless.  In game two, starter Nick Janowicz did not decision with three innings, four runs and three strikeouts.  The loss went to Jake Pecilunas (1-3), who had an unearned run in two innings plus two strikeouts.  Nate Nabholz finished game two with four scoreless innings, striking out four.
How It Happened (Game 1):
  • Towson got two on to begin the first with a James Moses flare single and a Matt Arceo walk.  Elijah Dickerson hammered a ball to the left-center gap for an RBI double and a 1-0 Towson lead.
  • Into the third, Towson picked up runners on the corners with a single and a throwing error.  A balk on JMU pitcher Justin Showalter pushed Moses home for a 2-0 Towson advantage.
  • JMU got its first run in the fourth after two free passes, an advancement error and a balk to make it 2-1.
  • In a wild top of the fifth inning, JMU got first and second with two away.  A single to the shortstop was followed by a throwing error to allow a run to score.  An RBI single and a proceeding throwing error by the catcher brought home two more as JMU got a 4-2 lead.
  • Towson put a runner on in the seventh on an error but did not score again in the seven-inning game and fell 4-2.
How It Happened (Game 2):
  • Back-to-back singles for the Tigers began the bottom of the first.  The next batter reached on a throwing error, allowing a run to score.  Elijah Dickerson hit a sacrifice fly, then Chandler Castleberry hit a line drive RBI single to left to give Towson an early 3-0 lead.
  • Next half-inning, Mason Dunaway hit a home run to left field with nobody on, one out.  With Ryan Dooley following with a double, Nick Zona pushed a single to center to score Dooley and pull JMU within one.
  • Towson got a run back in the bottom of the second, loading the bases on two walks and a Nolan Young single.  Dickerson hit his second sacrifice fly of the game, this one to left, to score Jacob Terao and make it 4-2 Towson.
