WINTER HAVEN, Fla. \u2013 St. Cloud State Baseball (8-6, 5-1 NSIC) fell to Barry (12-6, 2-4 SSC), 7-2, on day two of the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational. The Buccaneers rode a four-run first inning to victory behind a trio of pitchers who held SCSU to just two runs and six hits.

\nBarry wasted no time jumping out to an early lead against Huskies senior starter Kahler Key<\/a> (Onalaska, Wis.), scoring four runs in the first. Barry brought eight batters to the plate in the frame, recording three hits and one walk, including a triple and two-run home run.
\n\u00a0
\nFrom there, Key would settle in, finishing six innings and striking out six. He would only give up one more run across the final five innings of his outing. Of the five runs scored against Key, only three were earned. On the other side, however, Key was matched zero for zero by the Barry pitching staff who were able to limit the Huskies to just three hits through seven innings.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Huskies would finally get on the board in the eighth. Redshirt freshman Max Robinson<\/a> (St. Michael, Minn.) led off with a single before redshirt junior Hayden Frank<\/a> (St. Michael, Minn.) doubled down the left field line. Redshirt senior Liam Moreno<\/a> (Sun Prairie, Wis.) grounded out to short to score Robinson, then freshman Ryan Cahoon<\/a> (Northfield, Minn.) delivered a two-out single to center to bring in Frank to cut the deficit to 6-2. Barry would get one more in the ninth to close out the game.
