Box Score
NORFOLK, Va. – Herd baseball (24-25, 11-14) started out hot, but faltered in game two loss, 6-3, at Old Dominion on Saturday afternoon. This is the first time Marshall has been below .500 since the second weekend of the season.
Tucker Linder got the scoring started with a two-out two-run homer in the top of the first to put Marshall up 2-0. The home run was his sixth of the season.
However, the Monarchs scored the next six runs, one in the second, four in the third and one in the fourth, chasing starter Wade Martin out after three innings. The righty gave up five runs, four earned, on six hits and three walks.
Robert Kwiatkowski came on in the fourth for Martin. After giving up the run in the fourth on a wild pitch, he settled in and threw 1-2-3 innings in the fifth and sixth.
Elvis Peralta, Jr., lead off the seventh with a double to left. Tucker Linder then moved him over with a groundout before Rey Pastrana brought home Peralta to make it a 6-3 game.
Garett Priestley came on in the seventh and retired his only batter and Hunter Sexton came on and threw a scoreless inning.
Bryan Callaly relieved Sexton in the bottom of the eighth and threw a scoreless 0.2 of an inning.
The Marshall bullpen combined to go six innings giving up just one run on three hits and three walks while striking out three batters.
Peralta went three-for-five with two runs scored in the contest.
