SKYHAWK BASEBALL DROPS MIDDLE GAME OF ROAD SERIES AT NICHOLLS, 7-0
4/2/2021 11:21:00 PM | Baseball
THIBODAUX, La. – The University of Tennessee at Martin baseball team could not find its rhythm this evening, falling 7-0 in the second game of a nonconference series on the road against Nicholls.
The Skyhawks managed five hits tonight, led by Blake Daniels' third multi-hit outing of the 2021 campaign. The left-handed swinging third baseman out of Marked Tree, Ark. doubled and singled during a 2-for-4 effort at the dish.
On the mound, Winston Cannon (4-3) was charged with the loss after allowing four runs with five strikeouts in 5.2 innings. Ryan Insco made his 10th appearance out of the UT Martin bullpen this evening, allowing one earned run to go along with a pair of strikeouts over 2.1 frames.
Will Smith singled and stole second in the opening inning but the freshman was stranded on the basepaths. Cannon wiggled out of potential trouble in the bottom half of the frame, notching a strikeout to leave the bases loaded full of Colonels.
Wil LaFolette singled to begin the top of the second and later advanced to second on a groundout to the right side but once again, the Skyhawks were kept off the scoreboard.
Cannon worked through a clean bottom of the second before Nicholls went ahead by a 2-0 margin through three innings of play. The senior righty from Cookeville, Tenn. then did a masterful job in the fourth as he zoned in for another scoreless frame after the first two Colonel hitters put themselves in scoring position.
UT Martin had its best scoring opportunity of the game in the fifth inning. Daniels led off with a single and was followed by an Ethan Whitley single to ignite a potential rally. Blake Davis laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt to nudge each runner up 90 feet and place the tying run on second base. Benny DeTrude then drew a walk to load the bases with just one out but the Skyhawks could not put a ball in play as the score remained 2-0.
Nicholls then added a two-out run in the sixth before Insco came in to strand the bases loaded after a called strikeout for the third and final out of the inning.
Daniels opened the top of the seventh with a leadoff double to the deepest part of the ballpark. He would soon move up to third base on a deep flyout by Davis but one again, UT Martin wasn't able to push across a run.
Insco induced three groundballs over a shutout seventh but the Colonels scored three runs (only one earned) in the bottom of the eighth to provide the final scoring margin of 7-0.
The Skyhawks and Nicholls conclude the series on Saturday, April 3 with first pitch set for 12 p.m.
