HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University Baseball team (13-25, 6-11 Sun Belt) fell in game two of its series with Old Dominion (20-18, 8-9 Sun Belt) on Saturday, 3-1, at Jack Cook Field.
Â
"We didn't execute the game plan offensively today," Herd Baseball head coach Greg Beals said after the game. "We had a game plan; I liked our game plan against their starting pitcher. We didn't do a good job. We knew what their bullpen guys were going to do, and they beat us tonight."
Â
Bryce Blevins registered his fifth quality start of the season giving up three runs, only one earned, on five hits and a walk across 8.0 innings with nine strikeouts. The outing was the sophomore's third of the season with at least nine strikeouts.
Â
Out of the bullpen, Peyton Schofield hurled a perfect ninth inning with a strikeout.
Â
Marshall's run came in the bottom of the first. Cam Harthan led off with a double and was brought home two batters later on a sacrifice fly by AJ Havrilla. Havrilla saw his on-base streak come to an end at 19 games.
Â
On his 18th double of the season in the sixth, Owen Ayers extended his on-base streak to 18 contests.
Â
All three of the Monarchs' runs came in the fifth. Jake Ticer hit a homer to lead off the frame as the visitors tallied their final two runs on a pair of errors and a passed ball.
Â
UP NEXT
The Herd looks to take the series in the rubber match on Sunday against ODU. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.
