Three-game Sweep in Baseball
Grambling State answered in the fourth and upped its lead to 7-3 when freshman Adrian Turner recorded a three-run homer to right. Prairie View wouldn’t go away as they added five runs over the next two frames to regain an 8-7 advantage going into the top of the sixth. Down by one run entering the top of the eighth, the Tigers tied the game at 8-8 after a solo homer by Justin Kelly and the defense came through in the bottom half as reliever Matt Morales retired the side in order. In the top of the ninth, GSU catcher Shannon Meheia opened the inning with a single but was thrown out at second after Anthony Clifton hit into a fielder’s choice. However, Clifton made the most of the situation and moved to third after stealing second combined with an error by Prairie View pitcher Mark Almaguer with one out.
