HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • The Florida Tech Panthers were on the board first with a solo home run in the top of the first inning.
  • The Fighting Knights would not stay down long, responding with a three run inning in the bottom of the first. Anthony Orrico was able to single to left field to get the hitting going for Lynn,
  • Matt Archer would hit a single of his own to put Orrico in scoring postion. With the very next at bat Byron Murray hammered a three run homer to left field to take 3-1 lead going into the second.
  • The Panthers used the top of the second to cut into the deficit scoring on run, and making it a 3-1 Lynn lead.
  • The Panthers broke the game open in the top of the third inning scoring six runs to take an 8-3 lead.
  • In the bottom of the fourth the Fighting Knigths would cut the deficit to four with a solo run in the inning. Ryan Ford would hit a double to center field to lead off the inning for Lynn.
  • Joseph Encarnacion hit a single a few at bats later, putting two runners on base with one out. Pedro Martinez would get an RBI after a fielder's choice single that brought home the lone run of the inning.
  • The top of the eighth and ninth saw Florida Tech score three runs to extend their lead 11-4. The 11-4 deficit was to much to overcome for Lynn in the bottom of the ninth inning as they lose to Florida Tech.
