Andrew College Baseball Splits Monday's Doubleheader against Thomas University

CUTHBERT, Ga - In Monday's doubleheader against Thomas University, Andrew College once again split the series, falling in Game 1, 6-5, before taking Game 2 in dominant fashion with an 11-1 victory through five innings of play.

Game 1

The Fighting Tigers struggled early in Game 1, giving up three runs to allow the Night Hawks to jump out to a 3-0 lead. However, in the bottom of the third, 1B Tyler Walling launched a two-run homer for his first long ball of the season, cutting the Thomas lead to one, 3-2.

Unfortunately, the Night Hawks' offense continued to produce, scoring two unanswered runs heading into the bottom of the sixth inning.

With their window closing, the Fighting Tigers stepped up to the plate, scoring three runs in the sixth to tie the game. However, miscues and timely hits allowed the Night Hawks to take a one-run lead in the seventh and secure the victory.

Game 2

Heading into Game 2, the Tigers could not afford to let another winnable matchup slip away. In the bottom of the first, 3B Cameron Kenney smacked an RBI double into the gap to give Andrew an early lead. The hit marked his fourth double of the season and sixth extra-base hit of the year.

Game 2 also saw new faces make an impact, including 1B Kai Huber. Typically lined up at first base, Huber got the nod to start at second. Along with providing solid defense up the middle, Huber extended the Tigers' lead with a two-out, bases-loaded RBI double to clear the bases and give Andrew a 4-1 advantage.

Following Huber's timely knock, Andrew College went on to score 10 unanswered runs en route to the 11-1 victory.
