First Inning Woes Cost Griffon Baseball

Central Missouri takes game one from the Griffons on Friday night.

ST. JOSEPH – Missouri Western (19-21, 16-15 MIAA) took the field on Friday night looking to clinch a berth in the MIAA Championships, but could not overcome its slow start as the team fell to Central Missouri (33-12, 23-8 MIAA) by a score of 10-3.
 
Central Missouri entered Friday as the top team in the MIAA standings, and proved to be just that. The Mules jumped out to a six-run lead in the top of the first inning. However, the Griffons were inches away from getting out of the inning, as UCM's Erik Webb eluded the tag of Dusty Stroup on a close-play at the third. Central Missouri would go on to pour in five more runs after the play.
 
Missouri Western would settle in over the next few innings. The Mules, however, still managed to outscore the Griffons 4-3 after the first inning.
 
NOTABLES
  • After the Mules' six runs in the first, Carson Dwyre allowed just three hits over the course of the next three innings.
  • Fahd Shakeel gave the Griffons their first three runs with one swing of the bat, doubling to left field with the bases loaded in the fifth inning.
  • The Griffon bats made their best effort at a two-out rally in the bottom of the ninth, loading the bases before Central Missouri escaped with no runs scored in the inning.
  • Levi Abrahamson allowed just three hits in the final three innings and ended with no earned runs.
  • Shakeel finished 2-for-4 with three RBI's.
  • Brooks Day was the other Griffon with a multi-hit game, going 2-for-4 as well.
 
UP NEXT
  • Saturday's game against Central Missouri at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday will also be Senior Day for the Griffons.
