No. 9 Rollins Blows Out Saint Leo, 8-1

SAINT LEO, Fla. (March 25, 2022) – The ninth-ranked Rollins baseball team took care of business Friday night, downing Saint Leo by a score of 8-1 in the series opener. With the win, the Tars are now 22-5 on the year and 8-2 in conference, while the Lions dropped to 19-10, 6-7 in SSC games.


Adams Torres went 5-for-5 with a triple, two runs scored, and an RBI, while Jeslyn Whitehead was 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored, and two RBIs. Ryan Coleman finished 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and Timothy Mira was 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
 
Jaylyn Whitehead (6-1) earned the win, allowing just one run on four hits in 7.2 innings of work, walking two and striking out four. Michael Cullen pitched the final 1.1 innings, giving up no runs and just two walks while picking up a strikeout.
 
Paul Coumoulos was 2-for-2 and Eddie Nieman III was 1-for-3 for Saint Leo. Brayden Heidel (1-2) took the loss, giving up four runs on seven hits in 5.1 innings, walking four and striking out three.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
Sixth Inning
  • Torres led off the sixth with a base hit and Jeslyn Whitehead followed up with a base hit of his own, advancing Torres to third.
  • Two matters later, Cameron Meehan drew a walk to load the bases.
  • A wild pitch then allowed all three runners to advance 90 feet, scoring Torres.
  • Ryan Coleman proceeded to clear the rest of the bases with a three-run home run to put the Tars up 4-0.
Seventh Inning
  • With one out in the seventh, Chase Achuff and Torres produced back-to-back singles.
  • Achuff and Torres then pulled off a double steal to put both runners in scoring position.
  • Jeslyn Whitehead connected for a two-run single to build the lead to 6-0.
Eighth Inning
  • The Tars added a seventh run in the eighth on an odd baserunning play. As Mira struck out, Aidan Healy was caught stealing at second base, but that allowed Meehan to score from third.
     
  • Saint Leo got its lone run of the game on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth.
Ninth Inning
  • A Torres triple with one out scored Achuff from first to restore the seven-run lead for the Tars at 8-1.
     
  • The Lions put two men on via the walk in the bottom of the ninth, but Cullen kept them off the scoreboard as he closed out the 8-1 win.
