Four-Run Eighth Lifts Spartans Over Panthers

PLYMOUTH, N.H. – The Vermont State University Castleton baseball team's four-run eighth inning lifted them up over Plymouth State, 6-4, in Little East Conference action on Tuesday afternoon.
The Basics:
  • Final Score: 6-4 Castleton
  • Location: Plymouth, New Hampshire - Parish Field
  • Records: 12-25 (4-10 LEC) Castleton | 5-24 (3-11 LEC) Plymouth
How it Happened:
Both teams got on the board in the first inning, with the Spartans striking first. Doubles by Justin Strozyk and Carter Dickinson back-to-back put Castleton up 2-0 before the Panthers took a 3-2 lead with a groundout and a two-run home run. The Spartans ended the top of the second with three runners on, while leaving two Panthers stranded at the bottom of the inning to keep the score at 3-2.

At the top of the sixth, Castleton left two runners on after a single by Sebastian Vazquez and a walk for Joe Castellano with two outs on the board. The final batter of the half inning flew out as the Spartans were still searching for more runs. At the bottom of the inning, Plymouth homered once again to extend the lead to two (4-2).

Castleton took its second lead of the game at the top of the eighth, starting with a sacrifice fly from Alex McClelland with two runners on to bring in one run (4-3), which Tommie Shaw followed up with a double to bring in another as the game was tied at four. Two batters later, Strozyk sent a double out to right-center field to bring in Shaw, while Trey LaVigne scored on a wild pitch on the next at-bat before the inning ended for a 6-4 Spartan lead as the Panthers were retired in order at the bottom of the inning. Both teams left two runners stranded at the end of the ninth, resulting in a 6-4 LEC victory for the Spartans, who move to 4-10 in conference action.

  • Vazquez led the team with four hits, while Dickinson and Castellano added three each.
