Comeback Bid Falls Short In Extras for Panther Baseball

West Palm Beach, Florida – Florida Tech Baseball headed south this evening to face Palm Beach Atlantic for their last non-conference game before the start of SSC play.

NON-CONFERENCE – GAME EIGHT
Final: Florida Tech Panthers 4, Palm Beach Atlantic Sailfish 5
Records: Florida Tech (5-3) | Palm Beach Atlantic (3-4)
Location: Rubin Park | West Palm Beach, Florida

GAME NOTES:
  • Tonight's contest began with a scoreless first inning before PBA got on the board in the bottom of the second.
  • The Sailfish added another run in the fourth inning to take an early 4-0 lead.
  • Marcello Cortale answered right back for Tech with an RBI single to score Anthony Fimiano.
  • Fimiano came right back to the plate in the fourth and blasted a ball into the left-center gap for an RBI double, and the deficit was cut to two runs.
  • After allowing four early runs, the Panther bullpen tossed six straight shutout innings as Tech mounted a comeback.
  • In the top of the seventh, the Panthers struck again. Adrian Dominguez roped a single over the PBA sailfish to cut the lead to one.
  • A batter later, Cortale picked up his second RBI of the game when his infield hit was thrown down the right field line to score Dominguez and tie the game.
  • The scoreline remained knotted at 4-4 through nine innings of play as the contest headed into extra innings.
  • Unfortunately for Tech, two errors at the bottom of the tenth allowed PBA to score and take the game in walk-off fashion.
FINAL: Florida Tech Panthers 4, Palm Beach Atlantic 5
