Baseball Takes Game One From No. 10 West Florida

Jaylyn Whitehead tossed six shutout innings as four Tars combined to pitch a four-hit shutout on Friday

WINTER PARK, Fla. (February 11, 2022) - Four Tars combined to toss a four-hit shutout and Chase Achuff delivered a key two-out RBI single to lead the Rollins baseball team to a 1-0 victory in the first game of a three-game series against No. 10 West Florida. The win evens the Tars season record at 2-2, while the Argonauts fall to an identical 2-2.

Chase Achuff was 2-for-4 with the game's only RBI, while Andres Antonini finished 2-for-2 with a walk and the lone run scored.

Jaylyn Whitehead (1-0) picked up the win, going the first six innings, allowing just two hits and two walks with five strikeouts. Austin Long and Michael Cullen each pitched scoreless frames in relief, while Achuff came in from shortstop to pitch a scoreless ninth with a pair of strikeouts, earning his first save.

Trent Jeffcoat was 2-for-4 with a stolen base for the Argonauts, while Alden Davis went 1-for-2 with two walks.

Josh Pahlad (0-2) took the tough-luck loss, allowing one run on four hits with two walks and five strikeouts in 5.1 innings of work. Jacob Estes pitched a hitless 2.2 innings of relief, giving up just two walks while striking out one.
