Blue Raiders fall in the final game of the season
5/18/2019 2:18:00 PM | Baseball
The Blue Raiders once again used the long ball in the first inning, when Blake Benefield and Brycen Thomas went back-to-back to give MT a quick 2-0 lead. After Carter Bair set the Owls down in order in the bottom of the first, the Blue Raiders scored two more on an Aaron Antonini base hit to score JT Mabry and Nick Carnevale.
FAU used a four run second inning to even things up before scoring three more in the fourth to give themselves their final lead of the day.
Thomas would homer for the second time in the day with a solo shot in the top of the eighth.
Darrell Freeman Jr. made it a one run game with a two-run home run in the top of the ninth for the second day in a row, but the Blue Raiders could tack on another run to tie it.
The Blue Raiders used six seniors on the mound for the final game of the season. Carter Bair got the start, while Tyler Holcombe, Andy Wright, Conner Bell, AJ Spencer, and Carson Lester all saw action out of the bullpen.
