DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. –  Florida Tech baseball returned to the diamond on Friday evening as they began a three-game Sunshine State Conference series on the road against Embry-Riddle. Five runs over the first three innings proved the difference as the Eagles won the opener, 6-2.  

SSC PLAY – SERIES OPENER 

Final: Florida Tech Panthers 2, Embry-Riddle Eagles 6

GAME NOTES: 

  • The Panthers had the game's first scoring opportunity in the top of the first inning when a walk to Adrian Dominguez, a Marcello Cortale single and a Marshall Burke walk loaded the bases only for the Eagles to escape the jam when Gabe Roque struck out.  
  • Embry-Riddle made Florida Tech pay immediately for not cashing in as a leadoff single and a pair of doubles gave the Eagles a 2-0 lead. 
  • The Eagles put the game beyond reach in the bottom of the third as a two-out RBI single, a bases loaded hit batsman and a throwing extended the Embry-Riddle lead to five.  
  • Tech's best chance to get back in the game came in the top of the sixth, which began with a Conner Wiggins leadoff single, followed by a Dominguez double.  
  • Burke got the Crimson and Gray on the board with a one-out opposite field RBI single just beyond the reach of the second baseman.  
  • After the Eagles lifted their starting pitcher, Roque greeted the reliever with a first pitch single through the box to plate Dominguez and make it a 5-2 game.  
  • Florida Tech had the tying run at the plate before Anthony Fimiano popped out and William Rollings flew out to end the inning.  
  • The Eagles found insurance in the bottom of the seventh, scoring on a wild pitch to conclude the scoring.  
  • The Panthers had one batter reach base over their final three turns at bat.  

FINAL: Florida Tech 2, Embry-Riddle 6
