Indians split weekend series(2-2) with Louisburg College


The USC Salkehatchie Indians baseball team have split again for the second day in a row against Louisburg College from North Carolina.



In game one (3rd of series) , it was all Louisburg, the Hurricanes scored 8-runs in the first inning while facing freshman starting pitcher Griffin Spires (West Columbia, SC) now 3-3 on the season.
The Indians would have to go through four pitchers in the game, none lasting over 2.2 innings.
Seeing action in game one was Griffin Spires (Starter),sophomore Dylan Hightower (Cayce,SC), freshman Tripp Strickland (Fairmont, NC) and finally freshman Will Lackey (Myrtle Beach, SC).
At the plate for the Indians, sophomore Tracy Asbill (Leesville, SC) lead the Indians by going 3-3 with 2-RBI's and on defense, he had 7-put outs.
The Indians had 3-players go 1-3- Carlos Santana, Oliver Santos, Bryan Parsons.
Randolph Brown and Jayvon Sanders went 1-2 in game one.
Game 3-Score by Innings:


In game 2 (4th of the series), it seemed as a new Indians baseball team came out of the locker-room as they came out in the first inning and the bats were on fire, nothing the Hurricanes pitcher Jason Tate threw got by an Indians batter.



In the first inning, the Indians would score 7-runs and all earned. I was pleasantly the way the Indians came out in game 4 of the series (second of the double-header) with a bounce in their step after getting shelled in game 3 (first of double-header).

Sophomore Breylon Emory (North Augusta) got the start on the mound and went 5.1 innings, giving up 6-hits, 6-runs, 5- earned, he walked 4-batters, earned 6-strike-outs, while facing 21 batters.


After coming out after 5.1 innings, freshman Ryan Rowe (Newberry, SC) came into the game pitched 1.2 innings, giving up 1-hit, 1-run, 1-earned run, 1-walk, 1-strike-out, while facing 6-batters.


The Indians were hot at the plate in game 4 and the two Indians lead the way, sophomore Oliver Santos (Santo Domingo, DR) was 4-5 with 3-RBI's and freshman Bryan Parsons (Spartanburg,SC) 4-5, 2-RBI's.


Also hot at the plate for the Indians:


Freshman-Jayvon Sanders (Rembert, SC) 3-4, with a home-run and 3-RBI's.


Sophomore-Branfy Arias(Santo Domingo, DR) 3-4, 2-stolen bases-Total for season (21-24)


Freshman-Korey Ahrens (Newberry,SC) 2-3, 2-RBI's


Sophomore-Tracey Asbill (Leesville, SC) 2-5, 1-RBI




GAME 4- SCORE BY INNINGS:


I have to mention that sophomore Tracy Asbill was the hottest bat for the Indians this weekend as he went 8-12 hitting .667 with 5-RBI's and a home-run. In game 1, he only had 1-at bat.
The Indians record now stands at 23-21 and 13-11.
Louisburg College now sits at 16-12 overall, I do not have their Region X record.
