Trojans drop a pair on the first day of the series to Bluefield State

ETTRICK, VA (March 13, 2021) –
Game 1
The pitcher's duel that was game one ended with the Trojans coming up just one run short. The game opened with Bluefield State attaining the first run due to CJ Cooper's activity on the base paths. Cooper stole second, advanced to third on a wild pitch and advanced home on a wild pitch as well to make the score 1-0 at the top of the first inning. At the top of the third inning, BSC would see JR McRee drive a 2-0 pitch to the shortstop, Carl Granderson, to allow the run from third base to come in to score to make the score 2-0 at the top of the third inning. The first run of the day for the Trojans came by way of a throwing error from the catcher which allowed Kevin Russell to score while Cecil Henderson advanced to third base. The next at-bat, Joshua Tayman added yet another RBI to his column this season as he put one deep enough into center field to score Henderson from third base. The top of the sixth inning is when the Big Blue took the final lead of the game as Roman Moore would drive in the go-ahead run to make the score 3-2. Austin Stambaugh held the Trojans off for the last two innings to cap an electric complete game victory as he only allowed two runs on four hits.
