Bats Stay Quiet as Eagles Drop Fifth Straight Game

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Embry-Riddle baseball team suffered its fifth straight loss, surpassing its four-game losing streak to open the season. The Eagles recorded eight hits, but timely double plays and deep center-field catches kept them off the scoreboard. Neither team hit particularly well, but a run in the fourth followed by a four-run fifth inning by Grand Valley State proved decisive.

RECORDS

Embry-Riddle: 10-13
Grand Valley State: 20-4

HOW IT HAPPENED

First Inning
  • Embry-Riddle starting pitcher JD Bryan faced four batters, allowing a single to Jovan Gill, but two groundouts and a popout quickly ended the top of the inning.
  • Collin Mastromauro opened the day for the Eagles with a double down the right-field line and advanced to third after Cole Bullen grounded out to shortstop.
  • Mastromauro attempted to steal home on a wild pitch by Jackson Kees, but a quick recovery by the catcher and a tag by Kees retired him at the plate.
Fourth Inning
  • Grand Valley's Jake Skaggs singled up the middle, followed by a Ryan Stimac single to right-center that moved Skaggs to third.
  • A sacrifice bunt by Caden Thelen allowed Skaggs to score what proved to be the game-winning run.
Fifth Inning
  • Three singles, a double and a walk led to four runs for Grand Valley State, extending the lead to 5-0.
  • Isaiah Eberheart replaced Bryan on the mound and recorded the final outs of the inning.
Sixth Inning
  • Ben McIntire relieved Eberheart and struck out the first two batters he faced.
  • Cole Bullen reached first after being hit by a pitch, and Aidan Corn followed with a single to move Bullen to third, putting the Eagles in scoring position for the first time since the opening inning.
  • A fielder's choice by the Grand Valley shortstop ended the inning, leaving two runners stranded.
Eighth Inning
  • Bullen and Mastromauro each singled to put two runners on, but a double play ended the threat and the inning.
