THE BASICS:

RECORDS: Hartford (0-1); No. 17 South Alabama (5-1)
LOCATION: Stanky Field (Mobile, Alabama)
 
THE LEAD:

The University of Hartford baseball team dropped its opening game of the season, 17-1, to No. 17 South Alabama in Mobile on Friday night.

After the Hawks jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead in the first inning, the Jaguars scored 17 straight off 11 hits to take the 17-1 decision.

HOW IT HAPPENED      
                                                                                                   
  • The Hawks opened strong, scoring the game's first run when junior Ashton Bardzell reached on an error and later scored on a wild pitch.
  • The Jaguars quickly responded in the bottom half of the inning, scoring off a Travis Swaggerty solo home run to knot the game up at one.
  • South Alabama took control of the game in the bottom of the second, scoring four runs off three hits and a Hawks error to take a 5-1 lead.  
  • The Jaguars never looked back, tacking on three in the fourth, two in the seventh and seven in the eighth to seal the first game of the three-game set.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS
 
  • Redshirt-junior Jake Regula was credited with the loss, going three innings while giving up four hits and six earned runs.
  • Senior Nick Campana went 2-4 with a double, while junior Chris Sullivan also finished 2-4.
