JSU Rallies Late, Holds off Wildcats in Back-and-Forth Game

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — In a game that featured five lead changes, Jackson State managed the go-ahead run in the eighth and finished off a tight 8-7 victory over B-CU at Jackie Robinson Ballpark. The loss was the Wildcat's first conference loss of the season.

Header How it Happened

Jackson State (13-14, 4-3) got on the board first, manufacturing a run on a double steal to take a 1-0 lead.

Bethune-Cookman (17-9, 6-1) quickly responded with a three-run inning to take the lead in the second, Michael Rodriguez clocked his first home run of the season to get the scoring started. A Jackson State error then allowed two more runners to score.

The Wildcats would generate another run in the fourth using a sacrifice bunt from Sergio Rivera to extend the lead to 4-1.

The Tigers fought back in the fifth with a four runs to retake the lead. Asafa Jones and Robert Tate Jr. each had RBI hits for JSU. Two B-CU errors proved costly as they allowed two unearned runs to cross the plate.

The seesaw affair would continue in the sixth, with the Wildcats producing two more runs to grab a 6-5 lead. Erick Almonte hit an RBI double and later scored on a base hit by Darryl Lee.

In the seventh, the Tigers tied the game at six on a single by Pierre Cabral. And in the eighth inning, they took the lead on a bases loaded walk and a wild pitch.
