ABAC bats scorch Loyola to take SSAC baseball series

TIFTON, Ga. - Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College cranked out 16 hits Saturday to win a 10-6 battle over No. 9 Loyola and take the Southern States Athletic Conference series, 2-1.

Down 5-4 after 4 innings, the Stallions went into overdrive in the batter's box, scoring at least one run in each of their last four frames. Cameron Campbell and Chasin Cash each hit home runs for the game and Drew Rothschild had 3 RBIs.

Equally as effective as ABAC at the plate was Trace Hodges pitching. Hodges, coming in relief of Trypp Lumpkin, threw 5 1/3 innings of one-hit, two-run baseball. He struck out 4 before exiting in the 9th inning. Hodges, who earned the win, improved to 4-0 on the season.

Now 3-3 in SSAC play, ABAC will host Brewton-Parker in a three-game series starting Friday. It will be a rare single game Friday against the Barons, starting at 5 p.m. Saturday's doubleheader starts at 1 p.m.

Saturday, the teams each scored a pair of runs in the 2nd and 3rd innings before the Wolf Pack went ahead 5-4 in the 4th. ABAC tied it in the bottom half of the 5th.

Tre'von Lee scored on a groundout by Drew Rothschild. Lee, who had reached on a single, moved into scoring position on a walk to Chasin Cash, then both moved up 90 feet on a sacrifice bunt by Parker Wallace.

One inning later, the Stallions got a little insurance in the form of a two-run homer by Campbell to deep right field. Joseph Cooney came around to score as well.

In the 7th, Cash scooted home on a wild pitch after beginning the inning with a liner up the middle.

Cooney made it 10-5 in the 8th, singling in Dylan Davis and Zack Bowman.

Loyola scored twice in the 9th and had the bases loaded with two outs, but Lalan Ellis got the final man to strike out looking to preserve the victory.

ABAC's first runs came in the bottom of the 2nd on a solo Cash homer and a Davis double that plated Drew Rothschild. Following two runs by the visitors in the 3rd, Rothschild drove in Cash and Lee on a base hit.

Seven players had two hits each for the Stallions: Rawls, Bowman, Davis, Cooney, Campbell, Cash and Wallace. Davis doubled twice.
