Rams survive Tiger's midweek upset bid

DENMARK, S.C. - CIU baseball scratched out the 5-4 win over in-state NAIA program Voorhees (S.C.) on Tuesday in their final non-conference game of 2024. The win keeps the Rams perfect versus the Tigers on the season and moves to 16-28 on the year. 

Game Summary: The Rams would pile on the runs in the third inning as Graham Peeler rocketed a single into the outfield to score both Colton Lopez and James Lovera. Scott McDonough would follow this by hitting his seventh home run on the season, which resulted in two RBI for the Richmond, Va. native. After a Lopez RBI single in the seventh, the Tigers bounced back to cut the deficit to just 5-4 heading into the ninth. CIU closer Darius Hatchette-Dunn would make a heady play on the mound in the bottom of the inning to complete a double play on a line out and then force the ground out to retire Voorhees. 

Box Score Highlights:

  • Tanner Bridges got his first win of the season, pitching 1.2 innings of relief without allowing a Tiger batter to get on base. Bridges tallied two strikeouts.
  • Hatchette-Dunn received the save for his work in the final inning. 
  • Peeler and McDonough each had two hits and two RBI. Peeler and his teammate Aiden Pridgen both posted a double. 

Up Next: CIU makes the long haul to Grayson, Ky., to begin a three-game Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) series with Kentucky Christian on Friday, April. 19 at 1:00 p.m. EST.
