WINTER PARK, Fla. (May 12, 2016) - Rollins
could not keep up with the second ranked University of Tampa
Spartans on Thursday afternoon. Tampa scored early, putting the
game out of reach, and held on to defeat the Tars 12-3. Rollins
drops to 23-24 on the season, and sit at 7-15 in the Sunshine State
Conference. Tampa improves to 40-7 overall, and 19-3 in the
SSC.
Christopher
Corbett highlighted the Rollins offense, going 2-3 at the
plate. The junior catcher hit his eleventh homerun of the season,
tallying one RBI and scoring two runs in the contest. Mike
Dolan went 2-4 with an RBI, and Alex
Miller also went 2-4 and scored a run.
Isaiah
Sakany started on the mound for Rollins. The senior threw 2.2
innings, giving up six runs and striking out one. Whit
Drennan pitched one inning of relief, surrendering five runs.
Brooks
Norton closed out the game with a stellar 5.1 inning,
surrendering only four hits and one run, while striking out
two.
Tampa got on the board early, sending three base runners across
the plate in the first inning. Rollins responded with a run of
their own in the second when a Dolan single allowed Corbett to
score.
The third inning saw Tampa extend their lead, putting up another
three runs. But Rollins again kept the game close with a run in
the bottom of the frame. Isaiah
Russell registered an RBI single, capitalizing on Miller's lead
off double. The score after three innings was 6-2 in favor of the
Spartans.
In the fifth inning Tampa was able to take a firm grasp of the
contest, putting up five runs. Rollins again clawed back, but
could only responded with a single score. Corbett hit a solo shot
that landed well beyond the left field wall, making the score
11-3.
Tampa scored one run in the sixth, but the relief pitchers
dominated the final innings as Tampa held on for the 12-3
victory.
Rollins will conclude their 2016 season with a double-header
against the Spartans tomorrow, Friday, May 13. Game one is
