The USC Salkehatchie baseball team was on FIRE this weekend against the Blue Ridge Community College Bears in Hendersonville, North Carolina as the Indians swept their four game series. The Indians scored a total of 58-RUNS in the four game series, while giving up only 20-runs.
GAME 1:
On Sunday the Indians defeated the Bears in game 1 by a final score of 13-9, Freshman pitcher Griffin Spires (West Columbia, SC) got the win on the mound for the Indians.
The Indians lead 13-2 going into the bottom of the seventh (In a double-header-only seven innings are played).
The Bears would rally going in the bottom of the seventh, scoring 7-runs but it ended up being too little, too late.
The Indians would go on to win, 13-9.
GAME 2:
In game two left handed pitcher Braylon Emory (North Augusta, SC) earned the victory for the Indians. It was the Home-Run Indians at it again in game two, Tracey Asbill-1B (Leesville, SC) went yard, along with Carlito Santana-SS/2B (Santo Domingo, D.R.) and Branfry Arias-CF (La Romana, D.R.)
Branfry Arias CF-(Santo Domingo, D.R.) also hit for the cycle (Hitting for the cycle mean, he had a single, double, triple and home-run,though not necessarily in that order). I will be doing some research later this week to determine if this was the first time, it has been done in school history.
In the weekend series, the Indians went yard-(Home Runs) a total of 9 times ( I will also check and see if this is a weekend series school record)
