Stetson Surges Past Spartans to Win Series Opener

Box Score

Spartanburg, S.C. ? After allowing a final run in the ninth Stetson (11-17, 4-6) registered a 12-9 win over USC Upstate (7-19, 2-11) in Friday's series opener. The Hatters scored two runs in the sixth inning and five runs in the seventh to overtake the Spartans who held an 8-5 lead.

 

Freshman Mark Jones (Palm Coast, Fla.) was 3-for-5 with two RBI, Jeremy Cruz (Miami, Fla.) was 2-for-3 which included his conference-leading ninth home run of the season, and Kyle Maulbetsch (St. Augustine, Fla.) produced his first multi-hit game of the season going 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI.

 

Robbie Powell (Punta Gorda, Fla.) came on in relief and pitched four complete innings giving up just three hits and one run to register the win. He struck out two batters and improved his record to 2-3 on the season. Barrett Stover (Durham, N.C.) gave up four runs in a single inning of work, took the loss, and dropped his record to 1-4.
