FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -- Tufts University rallied late, but the
Methodist University baseball team finished strong to earn a 16-8
win and their 16th victory of the season on Wednesday afternoon at
Armstrong-Shelley Field.
Methodist scored early and often. The Monarchs jumped out to a
4-0 lead in the first after a sacrifice fly from Brian Inghram and
a two-run home run from Trey Such. Matt Quick finished up with a
RBI single to score Brian Goodwin. Methodist's Shawn Lovette hit a
two-run home run in the second and the team tacked on six runs in
the third including a three-RBI triple by Inghram to lead 12-0.
The Jumbos got on the board in the fifth with an unearned run,
knocked in by a single from junior shortstop David LeResche
(St. Louis, MO). The Monarchs went ahead 13-1 in the
seventh after doubles from Lovette and Inghram. Tufts responded
with seven runs in the top of the eighth to move within five
(13-8). They hit four doubles in the inning, with senior 3B
Alex Grzymala's (East Setauket, NY) two-bagger
driving home two runs. Sophomore RF Chase Rose (Scottsdale,
AZ) doubled home a run and later scored.
Methodist added three in the bottom of the eighth inning to
finish with the 16-8 win.
Inghram finished 4 for 5 at the plate with seven RBI for
Methodist. Lovette and Quick went 3 for 4 on the day as the
Monarchs finished with 19 hits. Sean Willingham earned the win on
the mound pitching five innings with just one hit and six
strikeouts. Hunter Ennis and Tre' Britt pitched an inning apiece
while John Markley and Rusty White finished in relief.
LeResche, Grzymala, and Rose each had two hits to lead the
Jumbos' 10-hit attack.
Tufts plays its sixth game in five days on Thursday at North
Carolina Wesleyan. First pitch is at 3 pm. The Monarchs will travel
to NC Wesleyan this weekend for a two-game USA South series.
