JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. -- The Anderson University (17-17, 7-12 SAC) baseball team found themselves on the unfavorable side of a shortened game on Friday, April 5 as they dropped their series opener to Carson-Newman (18-16, 11-8 SAC) by a score of 10-0.
The Trojans struggles at the plate in the contest, only recording three hits, one each from senior Carlos Hernandez (Maracay, Venezuela) and sophmores Mac Ketchin (Mount Pleasant, S.C.) and Gray Wells (Chapin, S.C.). However, the Trojans were making contact throughout the contest, only striking out three times over the course of the seven inning contest.
Carson-Newman jumped out to the lead in the bottom of the first with a pair of runs before adding four more to their tally in the second. Single runs in the third and the fourth bumped their lead up to 8-0, with a sacrifice fly and a defensive miscue in the bottom of the seventh wrapping up the contest at the 10-0 final.
The two teams return to action tomorrow, Saturday, April 6 for a doubleheader slated for a 12:00 p.m. start.
