WINTER PARK, Fla. (April 8, 2016) - The Tars
struggled to get the bats going against Florida Southern. Rollins
managed only one run on one hit, falling to the Mocs 10-1 on senior
night. The loss drops Rollins record to 20-15 overall, while the
Tars fall to 5-8 in Sunshine State Conference play. Florida
Southern improves to 24-8 on the year, and 7-3 in SSC action.
Skip
Kovar went 1-2, tallying the Tars lone hit of the evening. Mike
Purcell scored the Rollins run; he was driven in by Mike
Dolan. The star of the game for the Tars was centerfielder Peter
Nicoletto. The Fort Lauderdale, Florida native made a number
of spectacular catches in the outfield.
Rollins sent three pitchers to the mound. Brian
Auerbach was credited with the loss. The righty threw six
innings, giving up six runs, and striking out two. Brooks
Norton came in to pitch one inning, surrendering three runs,
only two earned. Anthony
Trovato closed out the final two frames for Rollins, giving up
a run, and striking out three.
Both teams were held scoreless in the first three frames due to
dominant pitching and stellar defense. Florida Southern got on the
board first in the top of the fourth, then followed it up with
another score in the top of the fifth. Rollins broke through in
the bottom of the frame when Purcell scored on a Dolan
groundout.
The game remained a 2-1 pitchers duel until the top of the
seventh when the Mocs pulled away, sending seven runners across
home plate. Florida Southern scored again in the eighth. It was
not until the bottom of the frame that Kovar singled up the middle,
ending the no-hit bid.
The Tars and the Mocs will return to action tomorrow with a
double-header scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
