Jacob Baker comes up on the short end of the pitchers duel at Clayton as the Trojans fall 4-2. Baker goes 5 2/3 innings with 6 strikeouts but the Trojans can only manage three hits to support him. A Trojan error in the fourth leads to three unearned runs. The Comets score on a lead off walk, followed by an outfield error and a double, scoring two.
Jeremy Conyers makes a terrific diving catch in right field but two wild pitches plates the runner for a 3-0 Comet lead. The Trojans get two runners on in each of the two innings but fail to score.
Dillon Creech extends his hitting streak to 8 games with a lead off single in the first and
Paco Martin doubles in the second but that's all the Trojan hitting through six innings. Trailing 4-0 in the seventh, Martin collects his second hit and
Jackson Pleasant reaches on a misplay by Clayton. Creech singles to load the bases and
Gabe Chrismon draws a walk to score Martin. Conyers RBI single scores
Philip Myrick, running for Pleasant but the Trojans leave the bases loaded to fall to
5-3 on the season.
