The Rattlers improved to 14-14 overall with the road victory.<\/p>\n<p>Prairie View drew first blood in the bottom of the first when Tyvon Moore deposited a two-run home run to left field, giving the Panthers a 2-0 lead before FAMU had taken an at-bat.<\/p>\n<p>The Rattlers answered emphatically in the second inning, sending seven batters to the plate and scoring six times to flip the game on its head. A hit-by-pitch and a single set the table, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/famuathletics.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/jordan-brown\/4490\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4490\" target=\"_blank\">Jordan Brown<\/a> walk loaded the bases for <a href=\"https:\/\/famuathletics.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/william-brown\/4508\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4508\" target=\"_blank\">William Brown<\/a>, who reached on a two-run error to score two. <a href=\"https:\/\/famuathletics.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/justen-crews\/5448\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5448\" target=\"_blank\">Justen Crews<\/a> followed with a run-scoring double down the left field line before Campbell delivered the knockout blow \u2014 a three-run home run that gave FAMU a 6-2 advantage it would not relinquish.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/famuathletics.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/garrett-workman\/5464\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5464\" target=\"_blank\">Garrett Workman<\/a> was solid in the circle, keeping the Panthers off-balance for six innings. The right-hander struck out seven, allowed five hits and three earned runs, and walked just one in earning his second win of the season. <a href=\"https:\/\/famuathletics.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/clark-lincoln\/5470\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5470\" target=\"_blank\">Clark Lincoln<\/a> ran into trouble in the seventh, surrendering three runs \u2014 two unearned \u2014 on a pair of FAMU errors before <a href=\"https:\/\/famuathletics.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/ryan-young\/5465\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5465\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan Young<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/famuathletics.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/cody-williams\/4497\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4497\" target=\"_blank\">Cody Williams<\/a> combined to close things out.<\/p>\n<p>Prairie View made a push in the seventh, cutting the deficit to 7-6 on an Ethan Walker RBI single and a ground out by Basilio Williams that scored another run. But FAMU put the game away in the eighth when <a href=\"https:\/\/famuathletics.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/william-brown\/4508\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4508\" target=\"_blank\">William Brown<\/a> crushed a two-run home run, and Campbell added a solo shot in the ninth for good measure.<\/p>\n<p>The win was also a signature pitching performance for Workman, who improved to 2-3 despite not factoring into what was ultimately a 10-run output. Kenneth Haynes took the loss for Prairie View, falling to 0-3 after allowing seven runs \u2014 four earned \u2014 on four hits with five walks in 2.1 innings.<\/p>\n<p>Key Performers<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/famuathletics.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/jay-campbell\/5446\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5446\" target=\"_blank\">Jay Campbell<\/a> (FAMU): 2-for-5, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 2 R<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/famuathletics.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/william-brown\/4508\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4508\" target=\"_blank\">William Brown<\/a> (FAMU): 2-for-5, HR, 4 RBI, 2 R<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/famuathletics.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/justen-crews\/5448\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5448\" target=\"_blank\">Justen Crews<\/a> (FAMU): 1-for-4, 2B, R, RBI, SB<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/famuathletics.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/ethan-miller\/5453\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5453\" target=\"_blank\">Ethan Miller<\/a> (FAMU): 0-for-2, 2 R, 2 BB, HBP<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/famuathletics.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/garrett-workman\/5464\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5464\" target=\"_blank\">Garrett Workman<\/a> (FAMU): 6.0 IP, 5 H, 3 R\/3 ER, 1 BB, 7 K (W, 2-3)<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Next Game: at Prairie View A&amp;M University 4\/4\/2026 | TBA &#13; Apr. 04 (Sat) \/&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":202438,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-218633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218633\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
