Baseball Shut Out for Second Straight Day in Saturday SSC Showdown

WINTER PARK, Florida - For the first time in 22 years the Embry-Riddle baseball team suffered back-to-back shutouts, falling on Saturday, 4-0 to Rollins after the Tars won on Friday night, 1-0. The Eagles (1-7, 0-2 SSC) managed just four hits, and put a runner in scoring position just twice against Rollins (6-2, 2-0 SSC) starter Justin Alintof who pitched eight innings on just 88 pitches before Michael Cullen got the final three outs in the ninth. Flagler was the last team to shutout ERAU in two straight games when they did so on April 1, 2000.

The Tars scored a run in the first off of Conner Dunnam, and that's all the scoring they needed but they added a two-run homer in the third inning to extend the lead to 3-0.

J.C. Carrell, who relieved Dunnam to start the fifth, got out of a jam in the sixth, stranding a pair of Tar runners, and did the same in the seventh, keeping ERAU down just three runs.

The Eagles' biggest threat of the day came in the eighth when they put two on with two outs, but a strike out by Alintof sent the game to the bottom of the eighth.

Rollins added an insurance run in that eight frame, and the Eagles went quietly in the ninth against Cullen.

Dunnam (L, 0-2) took the loss in four innings of work, while Carrell and Joe Balsam both got work on the mound.

Jeremy Kennedy-Davis, getting his first start as an Eagle, went 2-for-3 at the plate.

ERAU will try and salvage one game in the series when they take on the Tars at 12 p.m. in the series finale.
