No. 22 Rollins Extends Win Streak to 10

WINTER PARK, Fla. (March 1, 2022) – The 22nd-ranked Rollins baseball team continued its winning ways on Tuesday, defeating Gannon by a score of 7-2. The win extends Rollins' win streak to 10 straight games and puts its record at 11-2 overall, while the Golden Knights fall to 2-2. The 10-game winning streak is the longest in program history since 2008 when the Tars won 10 straight from Feb. 3-24.


Nick Santucci led the way offensively, going 2-for-4 with a double and a home run, two runs scored, and three RBIs. Adams Torres was 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, two runs scored, and two RBIs. Parker Smith finished 1-for-2 with a double, two walks, and an RBI, and Joey Rubin was 1-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base, and two runs scored.
 
Tate Stone-Frisina (3-1) got the win, going five innings, allowing two runs on six hits with no walks and five strikeouts.
 
Jorge Mejia was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base for Gannon, while Ryan Kalbfus went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored. Benjamin Visnesky (0-1) took the loss, allowing four runs on seven hits in four innings of work.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
First Inning
  • The Tars got on the board early when Rubin came home to score on a double play.
Second Inning
  • Santucci doubled the lead when he led off the second inning with a solo home run over the right field wall.
Fourth Inning
  • Gannon plated its first run of the game in the fourth on a two-out RBI single from Mejia.
     
  • The Tars answered back in the bottom half, beginning with a leadoff double from Torres.
  • After Jeslyn Whitehead was hit by a pitch, Santucci laced a double to score Torres, but Whitehead was cut down at the plate.
  • Smith then doubled, the third extra-base hit of the inning, scoring Santucci to make it 4-1.
  • Cameron Meehan followed with a base hit that pushed Smith to third; Meehan then promptly stole second to put two runners in scoring position with one out.
  • Andres Antonini then lifted a fly ball into foul territory down the left field line; the left fielder made the catch and threw out Smith trying to score on the play, recording the final two outs of the inning.
Fifth Inning
  • The Golden Knights scored their second run on a sacrifice fly in the fifth to make it 4-2.
Sixth Inning
  • Torres again led off an inning with a double and then moved to third on an infield single from Jeslyn Whitehead.
  • Santucci hit a grounder to second that turned into a fielder's choice, scoring Torres to give the Tars a three-run lead once again at 5-2.
Seventh Inning
  • The Tars tacked on some insurance runs in the seventh, beginning with a one-out single from Timothy Mira.
  • After Rubin drew a walk, both men moved up 90 feet on a balk.
  • Two batters later, Torres singled to score both Mira and Rubin, upping the lead to 7-2.
Ninth Inning
  • Spencer Mangum came on to pitch the ninth, and thanks in part to a ground ball double play, he only needed to face three batters to complete the inning and secure the win.
