McDonough's fifth-inning blast lifts Rams past Screaming Eagles

COLUMBIA — A fifth-inning grand slam courtesy of Scott McDonough quickly closed a four-run deficit as CIU baseball ultimately defeated Toccoa Falls (Ga.) 10-6 on Tuesday. The Rams avenged an early-season loss to the Screaming Eagles and have now won three of their last four games. CIU has a 15-25 season record and a 9-5 all-time advantage over Toccoa. 

Game Summary: Two homers powered the Screaming Eagles to a 6-0 lead after four and a half innings of action. The Rams bounced back in the bottom of the inning, however, as a David Mora RBI single got the Rams' bats humming. CIU tacked on another run on a walk, followed by McDonough's four-RBI blast to right field, which tied the game at 6-6. Aiden Pridgen gave the Rams the lead in the sixth as he homered on the first pitch of the bottom frame. The Rams scored two more in the sixth and one more before the final out to hold on for the 10-6 victory. 

Box Score Highlights:

  • McDonough concluded his career day with two hits in four at-bats to go along with five RBI.
  • Jennings Greene was the other Ram with multiple hits, picking up two. 
  • Darius Hatchette-Dunn earned the win in relief, allowing one hit and striking out three in three innings.

Up Next: The Rams travel to Milligan (Tenn.) for a weekend series beginning Friday, April. 12.
