History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n PINE BLUFF, Ark. \u2014 Florida A&M baseball refused to let the lead slip away. Trailing 5-5 heading into the seventh, the Rattlers scored two in the seventh, added two more in the ninth and blew the game open with a four-run ninth-inning surge to finish off Arkansas-Pine Bluff 11-5 on Sunday. FAMU improved to 9-13 overall and 4-2 in conference play.<\/p>\n William Brown<\/a> was at the center of everything. The second baseman went 4-for-5 with three RBIs, two stolen bases and two runs scored, providing a relentless spark at the top of the Rattler order from the first pitch to the last out. He doubled the lead in the ninth with a fielder’s choice RBI, then came around to score on Justin Lopez’s<\/a> clutch single.<\/p>\n Shortstop Matthew Perez<\/a> matched him blow for blow, going 2-for-5 with three RBIs including a go-ahead RBI double in the fourth and a sacrifice fly in the ninth that pushed the lead to 9-5. Perez was patient, productive and poised in every big moment FAMU needed him.<\/p>\n FAMU trailed 3-1 after an ugly second inning in which Arkansas-Pine Bluff pushed across three runs on two walks and a pair of hits against starter Jesus Campa<\/a>. But the Rattlers answered immediately. William Brown<\/a> led off the third with a home run to left \u2014 his first of the season \u2014 and Perez followed with an RBI single to knot the game at 3-3. Clark Lincoln<\/a> steadied the ship out of the bullpen. The right-hander worked three clean innings, allowing just one unearned run on two hits while striking out two, keeping the Rattlers within striking distance long enough for the offense to close it out. Jackson McKenzie<\/a> followed with 2.2 innings of shutout baseball to seal it, allowing just one hit and punching out two in the final frames.<\/p>\n FAMU broke it open in the seventh when Ethan Miller<\/a> singled, a pair of Golden Lion errors opened the door, and Alex Monile<\/a> delivered a sacrifice fly to score Miller. William Brown<\/a> followed with an RBI single to push the margin to 7-5, and the Rattlers never looked back.<\/p>\n The ninth inning was a statement. After Alex Monile<\/a> and Jordan Brown<\/a> got on, William Brown’s<\/a> RBI fielder’s choice made it 8-5. Perez’s sacrifice fly scored another, and Lopez \u2014 pinch hitting for Jay Campbell<\/a> \u2014 singled to right and hustled to second as Justen Crews<\/a> came around to score on a UAPB error. Lopez later moved to third on a passed ball before Miller struck out to end the inning, but the damage was done. FAMU had sent 10 men to the plate and plated four more.<\/p>\n Jordan Brown<\/a> added two hits and two stolen bases out of the nine-hole, and Colton Ryals<\/a> contributed a hit and a run scored to a well-balanced 13-hit attack. The Rattlers drew seven walks on the afternoon and manufactured runs in five different innings. Key Stats \u2014 Florida A&M 11, Arkansas-Pine Bluff 5 Batting
\nThe Rattlers kept swinging in the fourth. Myles Potter<\/a> crushed a solo home run to left to put FAMU back in front 4-3, and Perez delivered again \u2014 lashing a two-out RBI double to right-center that scored Jordan Brown<\/a> and made it 5-3. UAPB crept back, tying the game 5-5 with single runs in the fourth and fifth, keeping the pressure on.<\/p>\n
