Final Inning Efforts Not Enough For The Cougars

CSU falls 7-9 to montevallo

COLUMBUS – Columbus State baseball fell 7-9 in a single-game matchup against The University of Montevallo on Tuesday afternoon.

Montevallo got on the board early against Columbus State with a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Two more runs were added for Montevallo in the second inning. An error by Cody Ferguson and two wild pitches from Trenton Burnett brought in a runner, followed by a sacrifice fly to bring in the other. 

CSU was unable to produce anything offensively which contributed to multiple short outings and three Cougars left on base within the first three innings. The Falcons went up 7-0 in the fourth inning after bases loaded with zero outs led to a sacrifice fly. 

In the sixth inning, Cayden Evans doubled to right field and then moved to third on a wild pitch. An RBI from Bryce Knox brought in Evans for the Cougar's first run of the game. Evans ripped a triple to open the eighth inning and was eventually brought in due to an error by the Falcon's centerfielder. A single from Luke Miller brought in Warrick Wilmot and Ethan Crawley for a 4-7 score. 

Montevallo responded after a Falcon landed on base from a hit by pitch and was eventually brought in off two singles. The Cougars continued to struggle on the mound as bases were loaded and a wild pitch advanced a runner home. 

Evans ripped another double followed by a single from Crawley to land two Cougars on base. Wilmot brought in Evans and Crawley after he doubled to right field. A single from Michael Cruz brought in Wilmot. Despite the Cougar's last-inning efforts, they fell 7-9 to the Falcons.
