The USC Salkehatchie Indians trailed 3-0 headed into the bottom half of inning 4, when a home run by freshman Robert Assemany (Chapin, SC) sparked the Indians to a 3 run inning.
USC Lancaster added 1 in the top half of the 5th and the Indians responded with one in the bottom half of the inning.
It would be USC Lancaster getting 3 more in the top half of the 6th that would be the backbreaker. Knox came out of the game and turned it over to sophomore Dustin Pannell (Aiken, SC) with a runner on first. Pannell would give up three runs on 4 hits. Even though the Indians added one more in the bottom of the 6th. In the top of the 5th freshman Kyle Pittman (Anderson,SC) came in to close the game out, giving up 1 run.
The final was USC Lancaster 8, USC Salkehatchie 7.
Freshman Bert Knox (Myrtle Beach, SC) takes the loss, he is now 1-3 on the year.
USC Lancaster 7 12 1
USC Salkehatchie 5 8 2
The two teams will meet again on Sunday in Allendale, SC for games 3 and 4. As of now the game is scheduled to start at 1:00 pm if anything changes, I will post here on the blog.
