Southern Miss Shuts Out UAB In Game One
5/4/2018 10:11:00β―PM | Baseball
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. β The UAB baseball team was unable to manufacture any offense on Friday night as it fell to No. 11 Southern Miss 6-0 at Young Memorial Field.
Β
The Blazers were shut out for the fourth-time this season in league play.
Β
"I thought we played really good," head coach Brian Shoop said. "We faced the conference Pitcher of the Year on a team that has the conference Player of the Year and probably the conference Player of the Year runner-up. Southern Miss is a team that many people think will host a regional and I thought we played them well. We barreled up a lot of balls. Southern Miss is just a really good team and I'm excited to take another run at them tomorrow."
Β
Southern Miss (33-12, 17-4) struck in the first inning as the leadoff batter of the game reached on a single. Two batters later, Luke Reynolds hit a two-run shot over the right field wall to give the Golden Eagles a 2-0 lead.
Β
Southern Miss pushed the third run of the game across the game as the Blazers committed a two-out throwing error to allow Mason Irby to score from third to extend the Golden Eagle lead to 3-0.
Β
UAB held Southern Miss scoreless until the top of the sixth inning when Irby knocked his second single of the game before coming around to score on a wild pitch for the fourth Golden Eagle run of the game.
Β
The Golden Eagles pushed their finals runs of the game across the plate with two outs in the top of the ninth as they scored two runs on hit with a UAB error to make the contest 6-0.
Β
UAB (19-24, 11-11) threatened in the bottom of the ninth as Thomas Johns hit a single into left field follow by Stephen Dobb's third hit of the game, but Nick Sandlin retired the next two Blazer hitters to end the game.
Β
Sandlin earned his seventh win of the season as he tossed his second consecutive complete game, allowing just six UAB hits with nine strikeouts and two walks.
Β
Tanner Graham took the loss for the Blazers, his sixth of the season. The junior went 5.2 innings, allowing four runs, just three earned, on seven hits with five strikeouts.
Β
Cole Whitman came in in relief of Graham and tossed 2.2 innings, allowing two runs on one hit while collecting a pair of strikeouts.
Β
Dobbs led the Blazers offensively, picking up three of the Blazers' six hits for his 10th career multi-hit game.
Β
Due to impending weather in the Birmingham area, game two has been moved up to noon on Saturday.
