Towson Baseball Loses Early Lead, Fall to Eastern Michigan

TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University baseball team's early lead over Eastern Michigan wasn't enough to withstand the Eagles' late offensive surge, falling 11-6 in 11 innings Sunday afternoon at Schuerholz Park in Towson, Md.
 
The Tigers produced an early 6-0 lead through four innings. In the first, four walks gave the Tigers the early lead. With the bases loaded in the third inning, Elijah Dickerson's groundout to the first baseman pushed the lead to two. The Tigers put up four runs in the fourth on a solo home run, two RBI single and a sacrifice fly. The Eagles answered with four runs on five hits in the fifth inning, cutting the Towson lead to two. Eastern Michigan tied the game in the seventh on a single through the left side with runners on second and third. In the 11th, the Eagles got five across on five hits to take the game in extras.
 
Key Stats:
  • The Towson leadoff batter reached safely or score in four of the first five innings. In the last six innings, only one leadoff batter reached safely for the Tigers.
  • The Tigers were outhit 15 to seven overall on the afternoon. With runners in scoring position, the Eagles posted an 8-for-12 mark while the Tigers were 3-for-9.
