No. 7 Baseball Drops Game One to Upset-Minded Panthers

Box Score

Melbourne, Fla. When a team has a target on its back, they will more often than not get a team's best shot when they go head-to-head. After breaking into the top-10 in multiple polls this week, the Lynn University baseball team was on everyone's radar, but fell at the hands of the Florida Tech, 8-5, on Friday night in a come-from-behind fashion for the Panthers.

STATS OF THE GAME:  

  • Donovan Armas, as he has done every outing for the Fighting Knights, gave the visiting team a lead when he left the ballgame after six innings. The senior limited the home squad to just two runs over eight hits and struck out 10 Panthers in the process.

  • Only six members of the Lynn lineup managed to record a base hit, and Ceballos was the only one who earned multiple hits on the night. Karl Ellison, Jake Rouse, DJ Daniels and Frank Grandinette each had one a piece. 

  • Ceballos hit a two run jack to give the Fighting Knights the first lead of the contest. He finished the night going 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored.  

  • Rouse, Grandinette and Jonathon Corbitt each knocked in one run on the night.
