History
Southern hit four home runs and did all of its damage in the sixth and seventh innings as TSU fell in the opener of a three-game series Friday at MacGregor Park.
It was a game of defense through the first six innings as it was scoreless until Southern opened the sixth with back-back home runs. A walk was issued to the third batter but SU hit another homer for a 4-0 lead.
After a 1-2-3 bottom of the sixth by TSU, Southern opened the seventh with a single, double and walk to load the bases which forced a pitching change. A passed ball allowed SU to score its fifth run followed by a sac fly and a wild pitch for a 7-0 lead. Four batters later with two outs, SU broke the game open with a grand slam for an 11-0 margin as TSU had a 1-2-3 seventh to end the game.
Justin Cooper went 2-for-2 while CJ Castillo fell to 1-3 after receiving the start.
The series resumes at 2 p.m. on Saturday at MacGregor Park.
