Eagle Bats Battle Back- Knights' Offense Too Much

MSU Falls to Bellarmine 19-9

Morehead, Ky. -- Morehead State rattled the bats but couldn't overcome an offensive onslaught from Bellarmine and the Eagles fell to the Knights 19-9 in eight innings Wednesday night at Allen Field in Prefontaine Park.

Morehead State (12-35/ 2-19 OVC) matched Bellarmine with 15 hits, but the Knights were better able to string hits together and scored in bunches.  

Bellarmine (12-36/ 7-17 ASUN) scored six runs in the third inning highlighted by home runs by third baseman Garrett Rusch and designated hitter Nick Gnardellis. Only two of those runs were earned.

Morehead State got a run back in the third on Hunter Thomas' 18th home run of the season, a blast over the screen in center field. The Knights tacked on five runs in the fifth on four hits, and added five more in the sixth, highlighted by center fielder Casey Sorg's home run.

The Eagles got two runs in the sixth on catcher Caden Sheridan's two-out double off the screen in right field, to cut the Bellarmine lead to 17-3. Morehead State held the Knights scoreless in the top of the seventh, and rallied with six runs, all unearned and all with two outs.

Griffin Olson hit a grand slam home run over the screen to make the score 17-8. Caden Sheridan followed with a blast down the left field line to push the scored to 17-9.

The Knights scored two runs in the eighth to push the lead back out to 10 on five walks. Bellarmine held Morehead State scoreless in the bottom of the eighth to end the game on the 10-run rule.

Arren Hash (1-0) got the win for Bellarmine. AJ Hacker (1-1) took the loss for Morehead State.

The Eagles return to play Friday as they open a three-game series at Western Illinois.
