Jaguar Baseball Can’t Get It Done Against New Orleans

Jaguar baseball can’t get it done against New Orleans. It was a game the Jags needed to win, to keep the great momentum going. A five run fifth inning is what seemed to take the air out of the Jags. The Jags would claw back, but couldn’t close the game out. The final score 6-5.

How It Happened

The Jags and Privateers battled to a 0-0 tie, through 4 innings. Caden Homniok started the game going 3 innings allowing 0 runs on 0 hits, walking 1 and striking out 2. Jake Bruning would come in to relieve Homniok. Bruning had a clean 4th, but then gave up 5 earned runs in the 5th, including 3 home runs by the Privateers. Bruning exited the game with 2 outs in the 5th.

In the bottom of the 5th the Jags would try to answer back. Joseph Sullivan would strike out to lead off the inning. Tyler Borges would single to left, that would bring Colson Lawrence to the plate. Lawerence would smash a 2 run homer to left field. Cole Ketzner and Austin Thasher would both fly out to end the inning. In the inning the Jags get 2 runs on 2 hits, trailed 5-2.

In the top of the 6th New Orleans picked up 1 run on 1 hit, and extended the lead to 6-2.

Moving into the bottom of the eighth.The Jaguars tried to get something going offensively. Erick Orbeta led off the inning with a walk. Bell singled through the left side. Will Turner would come to the plate with 2 on and nobody out. Turner would hit an rbi single up the middle, scoring Orbeta. DK Donaldson, who pinch hit for Micah Morgan would hit into a double play. Sullivan would end the inning, by fouling out to 3rd. In the inning the Jaguars get one run on 2 hits. South Alabama trails 6-2.


In the bottom of the 9th, it was do or die for the Jaguars. Borges lined out to shortstop, for the first out. Lawerence was hit by a pitch. Ketzner would single to right field. That would bring up Thrasher with 2 on and one out. Thrasher hit an rbi single to the left side. Orbeta walked to load the bases. Bell would step to the plate, hitting an rbi single to left. The bases remain loaded with Turner up. Turner would pop out and DK Donaldson would ground out to end the game. In the inning the Jaguars got 2 runs on 3 hits and lose the game final score 6-5.

Game Stats

J G Bell went 2 for 4 with an rbi. He also made a costly error in the sixth. What turned out to be the winning run scored on the play.

Will Turner went 1 for 4 with an rbi.

Colson Lawerence went 1 for 2 with 2 rbi and 2 runs scored.

Austin Thrasher went 2 for 4 with an rbi.

Bryan’s Takes

The pitching mistakes and defensive miscues made yet another appearance tonight. Bruning giving up 5 runs in the 5th and JG Bell’s team leading 12th error of the season. Turned out to be the game deciding error. There is some extremely strong Sun Belt teams coming up on the schedule. Troy, Southern Miss, and Coastal Carolina. The Jaguars really need to win these sandwich type games to improve their chances down the road come tournament time. In order for the Jags to get into a regional, they will all but certainly have to win the tournament. The RPI was around 110 before this loss and will most certainly drop further, after it.

Game One Friday @ 6:30 pm

Game Two Saturday @ 2 pm It’s Alumni day and The “Yard Sale” will also happen that day.

Game Three Sunday @ 1pmi
