Lynn Takes Series Opener Over No. 12 Rollins

WINTER PARK, Fla. (March 11, 2022) – The 12th-ranked Rollins baseball team suffered its first defeat in over a month on Friday, falling to Lynn, 1-0. The loss snapped a 16-game winning streak for the Tars and was their first SSC loss of the season. The Fighting Knights improved to 15-5 overall and 4-3 in conference play, while Rollins dropped to 17-3, 3-1 in league games.


Joey Rubin went 3-for-4 to lead the Tars' offense, while Parker Smith was 1-for-4 with a double. Jaylyn Whitehead (4-1) took the loss, despite allowing just one run on five hits in eight innings of work, walking one and striking out seven.
 
Anthony Orrico finished 2-for-4 with a run scored for Lynn, while Daniel Alfonso was 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI. Greyson Fletcher (5-0) got the win, tossing eight scoreless innings with five hits and no walks allowed while striking out four. Jake Buxbaum pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his fourth save, walking one and striking out one.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
Second Inning
  • The Tars had a scoring threat in the second inning which started with Nick Santucci reaching on an error with one out.
  • Parker Smith followed by lacing a 3-2 pitch down the left field line for a double, pushing Santucci to third base.
  • Fletcher was able to get the next two batters to ground out and fly out, respectively, to get out of the jam.
Fourth Inning
  • Lynn broke through for what would prove to be the game's only run in the fourth.
  • Orrico led off with a single, and three batters later, Alfonso doubled him home with two outs.
Eighth Inning
  • Rollins threatened to tie it up in the bottom of the eighth, all via a two-out rally.
  • Timothy Mira singled to get the two-out rally going.
  • Aidan Healy pinch ran for Mira, and when Rubin singled up the middle, Healy was able to get over to third base.
  • Two pitches later, Rubin moved up to second base on a wild pitch, putting two in scoring position.
  • Unfortunately for the Tars, Chase Achuff grounded out to end the inning.
Ninth Inning
  • Lynn tried to add to its lead, loading the bases with out in the ninth.
  • Austin Long was able to induce a foulout for the second out and then struck out the next batter on three straight called strikes to end the inning, keeping it a 1-0 game.
     
  • Adams Torres led off the bottom of the ninth with a walk, but the Tars were unable to get anyone as far as second base in the inning.
