HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University Baseball team (12-23) dropped its first contest of the week to Morehead State (20-16), 7-2, on Tuesday night at Jack Cook Field.
"We didn't play very good baseball tonight," Herd Baseball head coach Greg Beals said after the game. "We went down to Louisiana and lost three tough games, we played really good baseball. I told the guys it's one thing to play well and lose to a really good team. It's another thing to not play well, which was the case tonight."
The Herd got on the board early after Ethan Murdoch launched the first pitch of the bottom of the second over the left-field fence for his first career homer.
Murdoch then brought home his second run of the game in the bottom of third as Elijah Vogelsong scored on a ground out.
Chad Heiner started on the bump for Marshall throwing 6.1 innings giving up four runs, only two earned, on four walks and three hits with three strikeouts.
The Eagles used a pair of three-run innings in the third and seventh, with an insurance run in the eighth, to take the ballgame.
AJ Havrilla and Owen Ayers each reached base in three of their five respective plate appearances extending their on-base streaks to 17 and 15 games, respectively. Ayers registered his Sun Belt Conference leading 15th double in the contest.
