Strong Day at the Plate Lifts the Tigers to Victory over CAA-Foe Monmouth

TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University baseball team posted 20 hits to secure an 18-5 victory over Monmouth Friday afternoon at Schuerholz Park in Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) play.
 
Towson (12-26, 3-13 CAA) jumped out to a 3-0 lead on a home run to left field in the first. The Tigers got two more in the second on a double to center with runners on first and third. Bishop's solo home run in the fourth extended the lead to six. A double with two runners on and a home run to follow made it a 10-0 Tiger advantage after six frames. Monmouth (12-22, 3-14 CAA) got on the board in the seventh on a sacrifice fly to center after a triple to lead off the inning. The Tigers posted seven in the home half, highlighted by a two-RBI double, a single and a Jack Lawrence grand slam. The Hawks answered in the top of the eighth with a triple with runners on to score two, followed by a single to shortstop to score a third in the inning. A sacrifice fly later in the inning made it a 17-5 game. A bases loaded walk in the bottom half of the eighth scored the 18th and final run of the game for the Tigers. With the last three outs in the ninth retired, that was the final score Friday afternoon at Schuerholz Park.
