CIU blasts past Morris in 8-inning midweek contest

SUMTER, S.C. - CIU baseball stepped out of conference play to take the field against Morris College (S.C.) in a midweek matchup. The Rams looked to bounce back after falling 6-2 to Truett McConnell (Ga.) on Tuesday. CIU's bats exploded this afternoon as they scored 23 runs to take down Morris in eight innings. 

CIU 23 MC 9: CIU quickly put up eight runs in the first two innings, highlighted by a two-run home run from Brandon Arnold in the second. Morris responded with two runs in the second and five in the third to close the gap to just one run (8-7). The Hornets tied it up in the fifth after an error from the Rams. However, CIU bounced back quickly and put up 15 runs in the game's last three innings with the help of home runs from Britton Morris and Price Alexander. The Hornets plated one run in the seventh but could not come back from the 14-run difference to give CIU the victory 23-9. 

Box Score Highlights: 

  • Alexander went 4-for-5 and picked up five RBIs. 
  • Morris batted ..600 today, hit his sixth home run of the season while collecting a whopping six RBIs. 
  • Michael Love picked up his first win on the mound, while Tanner Bridges only allowed one earned run with two strikeouts in his first season appearance. 

Up Next: CIU continues their series of away games this week as they head to Athens, Tenn., to take the field against No. 3 Tennessee Wesleyan University on Thursday, Feb. 22, at 12 PM.
