CIU picks up first AAC win of the season after split with Milligan

COLUMBIA, S.C. - CIU baseball took the field at home for just the second time this season to continue their three-game series against Milligan University (Tenn.). After dropping game one to the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) rival, the Rams needed to bounce back quickly for games two and three on Saturday afternoon. They were able to take game two 4-2 but lost 10-5 in game three. CIU is now 2-5 on the season and 1-2 in conference play. 

Game Two: CIU jumped on the board fast and scored three runs in the first inning after an RBI fielder's choice from Chase Hadley and a 2 RBI single from Jan Maldonado. The Buffalos closed the gap (3-1) after pushing a runner across the plate at the top of the second. Both teams went scoreless through the third, fourth, and fifth innings, but both scored one in the sixth (4-2). Neither team scored again for the remainder of the game, giving CIU the victory in game two. 

Box Score Highlights: 

  • Christian Orr started on the rubber today, striking out four and giving up two earned runs in six innings. 
  • Phillip Hodges recorded the save with four strikeouts and no earned runs in three innings. 
  • CIU picked up only three hits, two from Maldonado and one from Carter Willis. 

Game Three: Milligan struck first in the top of the second inning after a walk and an error. They ticked on another run in the top of the fourth but busted things open in the fifth when they scored five runs after four hits and an error. CIU responded well in the bottom of the fifth with four runs thanks to one hit, two hit by pitches, three walks, and a passed ball to make the score 7-4. However, the Buffalos notched on three more runs in the last two innings to secure their victory despite an RBI single from Britton Morris in the ninth. 

Box Score Highlights: 

What Coach Jonathan Johnson is saying:  "We didn't accomplish what we set out to this weekend. We have a very solid ball club, but we have a few areas to clean up. This will be a big week for us, having six games, with the final three being against powerhouse Tennessee Wesleyan."  

Up Next: CIU continues AAC play as they hit the road to take on Truett McConnell University (Ga.) on Tuesday, February 21st, at 3:00 PM.
