Game Recap: Baseball |

UVF Falls to Eastern

ST. DAVIDS, PA-The UVF Baseball Team traveled to the campus of Eastern University Wednesday, for a single game. The Eagles entered the game with a record of 8-10-2, and 3-4 in the MAC conference. The Patriots have 1 lone win this season.

Eastern jumped out early as they scored 4 runs on 3 doubles in the bottom of the 1st. The 2nd was all the offense of Eastern would need as they plated 8 more runs to make the score 12-0 after 2. 6 hits, 2 walks, and 2 errors in that inning produced those 8 runs. The Eagles added 2 more in the 4th, 6 in the 5th, and 1 more in the 6th for their 21 runs.

The Patriots did not record a hit/run until the 6th. An error by the Eagles right fielder allowed James Jackson to reach first with two outs. Waldo Odens Jr. then would single to center to make it 1st and 2nd. Then Shelton Gray would single up the middle scoring Jackson.

Your final score Eastern 21 UVF 1.

One highlight this year has been the play of Freshman James Jackson. Jackson caught 1 inning on Wednesday, making him play all 9 positions on the field this year.
Coach Mark Norton said, "James is a very versatile athlete. He is capable of starting at any position on the field. James is a great asset to our program."

The Patriots will return to action on Sunday, when they host Summit University in a double header starting at 12pm. The game was moved from Saturday due to the pending snow storm.
