Pippa Passes, KY: The Alice Lloyd College Eagles baseball team returned home on March 12th to host the Kentucky Christian University Knights in a single contest. A disastrous second inning proved the difference as KCU would take a 11-4 win. The Pippa Passes clubs record now sits at 9-14, while the Knights move to 11-10.
In the very first inning, KCU stuck when they utilized a double to drive in a score (1-0). Unfortunately, this would serve as a preview for what was to happen next.
In the second, the visitors opened with a homerun (2-1) From that point, they would utilize four singles, four walks, three wild pitches and an error to blow the game wide open. By the time ALC retired the side, they trailed 9-0.
The status quo remained until the bottom of the fifth. In that inning, Ryan Cozart (2B) singled, then advanced to third on a hot double from Kyle Johnson (CF). Next Cory Jefferson (SS) laced a single to bring both runners home (9-2).
Later, when TJay Mullins (LF) followed with a single of his own, the hosts seemed poised for a big inning. However, a deep pop-up ended the threat.
KCU made those runs back in the very next inning. They would produce a pair of runs themselves when a double and single made the score 11-2.
Alice Lloyd tried to respond in the eighth when the Knights pitching loaded the bases. They would then walk a run home and allow a second to score on an error. ALC trailed 11-4, but still had the bases loaded with a chance to afflict major damage. Disappointingly, with two men out, a ground out would end the rally.
Finally, in the last inning, Anthony Bailey (CF) led off with a single. However, the next three batter flied out to hand the visitors the road win.
The home club was outhit 14-7 with Mullins 3-5 batting leading the way. Jefferson had 2 RBI's.
