How It Happened
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi struck first in the bottom of the first when a dropped third strike allowed Christian Smith-Johnson to score from third after reaching base earlier via a walk. Stonehill quickly responded in the top of the second as Chin drove home junior
Jamison Howland with an RBI single into shallow right field.
The Skyhawks grabbed their first lead of the weekend in the top of the third when Bureau singled to left field, scoring Parks, who had reached on a single two batters earlier. The lead was short-lived, however, as the Islanders plated four runs in the bottom of the inning to take a 5-2 advantage.
TAMUCC extended its lead with two more runs in the fifth and a three-run blast by Max Towchik in the sixth, opening an 11-2 margin heading into the seventh. Stonehill answered with a big swing off the bat from Parks, who hit a three-run home run to deep right field after junior
Will Christopher walked and junior
Ryan LeClair was hit by a pitch, cutting the gap to 11-5.
The Islanders capped the scoring in the bottom of the seventh as Cade Sanchez delivered a two-out RBI single to
Sean McGee at short, making it 12-5 and putting the game out of reach for the Skyhawks, who were unable to mount a comeback over the final two innings.
