DELAND, Fla. \u2014 Jacksonville Baseball split Saturday’s doubleheader against Stetson at Melching Field, taking game one 5-4 before dropping the rain-delayed nightcap, 16-6.<\/p>\n
With the split, Jacksonville moved to 28-22 overall and 15-12 in ASUN play heading into Sunday’s series finale.<\/p>\n
Game One<\/p>\n
Stetson put runners on the corners in the first after an executed hit-and-run and a single through the right side. A walk later, the Hatters had the bases loaded with only one out. Alex Walsh<\/a> worked himself into a full count before blowing a high fastball past the Stetson hitter for a strikeout. One pitch later, Walsh induced a pop up into foul territory to Sam Grunberg<\/a>, escaping the jam untouched.<\/p>\n Walsh went through the Hatters in order in the second after the lead-off runner attempted to stretch a throwing error into third base, but Abdriel Delgado<\/a> fired him out at third.<\/p>\n Cade Walter<\/a> reached in the third after being hit by his 23rd pitch of the season. Sammy Mummau<\/a> followed with a stinger to left field before Roger Vergara<\/a> wore a pitch to load the bases.<\/p>\n Derek Bermudez<\/a> made Stetson pay.<\/p>\n The designated hitter lined a two-run single into left field, scoring Walter and Mummau to give Jacksonville a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n An inning later, Logan Baratta<\/a> launched a solo homerun to deep center field. The blast left the bat at 101 miles per hour with a 31-degree launch angle, traveling 399 feet.<\/p>\n Walsh exited after five innings, allowing only one earned run while striking out six. The senior worked around multiple traffic-filled innings, showing his normal poise in key spots.<\/p>\n Kyle Hopper<\/a> entered in the sixth and Stetson cut the lead to one after a pair of hits. With a runner aboard, Cade Walter<\/a> preserved the advantage with a diving catch in the right-center gap to end the inning.<\/p>\n Through six innings, six of Jacksonville’s nine starters had recorded a hit.<\/p>\n In the seventh, the top of the lineup came through again.<\/p>\n Mummau worked a lead-off walk in a full count before Vergara unloaded on a ball to deep right field. The homer traveled 364 feet off the bat at 101 miles per hour with a 32-degree launch angle, extending the lead to 5-2.<\/p>\n Stetson answered with two runs in the bottom half, bringing the tying run aboard, but Austin Williamson<\/a> slammed the door. The right-hander tossed two scoreless innings while striking out two to secure his third save of the season.<\/p>\n Mummau, Vergara, Grunberg, Baratta and Conner Spelman<\/a> all recorded multi-hit performances in the win.<\/p>\n Game Two<\/p>\n After a lengthy rain delay pushed first pitch into the afternoon, Jacksonville jumped on the Hatters early.<\/p>\n Sammy Mummau<\/a> opened the game with a double to left-center before Derek Bermudez<\/a> crushed a two-run homerun to left field just three batters later. The blast traveled 393 feet and gave the Dolphins an early 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n Stetson threatened in the bottom half after a double and wild pitch moved a runner to third, but Brendan Holland<\/a> stranded him there to keep the Hatters off the board.<\/p>\n Jacksonville added on again in the second.<\/p>\n Archer Ogbourne<\/a> punched a single through the left side before Griffin Pomper<\/a> drove him home with a double to left-center. Cade Walter<\/a> later worked a walk, and after a failed pickoff attempt moved both runners up, Roger Vergara<\/a> grounded out to plate another run and extend the lead to 4-0.<\/p>\n Stetson responded in the third.<\/p>\n A pair of runners reached before Landon Russell lined an RBI single into shallow center. Two batters later, Yohann Dessureault tied the game with a two-run homerun to deep center field.<\/p>\n
