WINTER PARK, Fla. (January 29, 2016) - The Tars
fell to No.25 Florida Tech in their season opener on Friday
evening, by a score of 6-1. With the loss Rollins falls to 0-1
overall, and 0-1 in Sunshine State Conference play, while the
Panthers improve to 1-0, and 1-0 in conference.
Rollins was lead offensively by Tyler
Fairbanks. The sophomore registered two hits including a
triple, and scored the lone Rollins run.
Two Tars split time on the mound. Isaiah
Sakany started, pitching five innings surrendering four runs,
three earned, and striking out four. Brad
Case threw the last four innings for the Tars. The freshman
opened his college career retiring the first 11 batters he faced.
He finished the night giving up two runs and striking out six.
The Tars faced strong pitching performances from Ty Cohen who
threw six innings giving up just the one run, and Grant Willcoxon
who earned the save with three shutout innings of relief.
Florida Tech got on the board early, scoring on a throwing error
in the first inning. The Panthers extended their lead in the top
of the third, scoring two runs on three hits and taking advantage
of one Rollins error.
The Tars fought back in the bottom of the third, taking
advantage of Fairbank's leadoff triple. With one out, Isaiah
Russell hit a sacrifice fly to right field, registering an RBI
in first collegiate game, and bringing the score to 3-1.
The Panthers would answer back in fourth scoring a run of their
own and stretching the lead to three. Both offenses would then go
stagnant until the top of the ninth when Florida Tech sent two
across the plate, courtesy of a two run homer by Reid Neal.
Rollins and Florida Tech will conclude their three game series
with a double header on Saturday, January 30. First pitch is
scheduled for 3:00 p.m. For the latest news, updates, and
