CHARLOTTE, NC \u2013 Sophomore Boaz Harper<\/a> hit a massive two-run RBI double in the visitors’ eighth inning to lead the North Carolina A&T baseball team to a 6-3 win over Queens University Sunday afternoon at The Stick Williams Dream Fields. The win snaps a four-game losing streak for the Aggies. Harper went 3-for-5 with three RBIs to help the Aggies improve to 2-5.<\/p>\n A&T trailed 3-2 going into the top of the seventh. Right-handed pitcher and reliever Johnny Joseph opened the frame for the Royals on the mound and walked junior Marcus Bradshaw<\/a> on four straight pitches. Bradshaw eventually stole second before Harper lined out for the inning’s first out. Sophomore JT Taylor<\/a> chased Joseph from the game with a single that allowed Bradshaw to reach third.<\/p>\n RHP Jake Young (L, 1-1) entered the game for Joseph to face A&T sophomore Tyler Smith<\/a>. Smith reached on an infield single, scoring Bradshaw to tie the game at 3. After junior RHP Aiden Hansen<\/a> (W, 1-0) set the Royals down in order in the home seventh, senior Nick DiCarlo<\/a> opened the Aggies eighth with a single.<\/p>\n DiCarlo stole second, and sophomore Reginald Tuggle III<\/a> walked to put runners on first and second. Freshman Sam Schwamb<\/a> advanced both runners into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt before Bradshaw walked to load the bases. All of that set up Harper’s big-time at-bat, where he took Young’s 2-2 pitch down the left field line to score DiCarlo and Tuggle to give the Aggies a 5-3 advantage.<\/p>\n Taylor helped the Aggies add another run with an RBI sacrifice fly to give the Aggies a three-run advantage. Haden put together another 1-2-3 inning for the Aggies in the eighth before junior RHP Agyei Quinichett<\/a> (S, 1) entered the game in the ninth for the Aggies. He walked Grayson Childers to open the frame before striking out Justin Hudson for the first out. However, a fielding error put runners on the corners for the Royals and brought the tying run to the plate in Dylan Schafer.<\/p>\n Quinichett answered the challenge by getting Schaffer to ground out and Kendall McDowell to fly out to center field to seal the win for A&T. Graduate RHP Angel Ortiz<\/a> got the start for the Aggies, striking out six in three innings pitched. He gave up an RBI single to Charlie Marcantel in the second inning as the Royals took a 1-0 lead. A&T answered in the fourth as sophomore Savoi Edwards<\/a> led off with a triple before DiCarlo brought him home on a groundout to tie the game at 1. Back-to-back walks put Tuggle at second and Schwamb at first.<\/p>\n Harper followed with a two-out RBI single to give the Aggies the lead by scoring Tuggle. Queens responded in the fifth by scoring two runs to regain the lead before the Aggies’ late-inning heroics. DiCarlo also had a big day, along with Harper, by going 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI. Seven different Royals had hits, but they dropped to 3-4.<\/p>\n A&T returns to action on Tuesday and will make what has become its annual trip to Boshamer Stadium to play the University of North Carolina at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n Read Full Article<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
