Keiser Highlights

Turning Point
The strong pitching of the Bobcats proved to be the difference this afternoon as the Seahawks only managed one run on four hits.
 
How it Happened

• St. Thomas capitalized on a pair of Seahawks errors in the first inning to take a 1-0 advantage.
• Jonathan Fernandez recorded the first Keiser hit in the third with a leadoff single to left, but the Bobcats tacked on a second run in the fourth with a one-out home run to right.
• Marco Rivera got the Seahawks on the board in the bottom half with a leadoff home run to left but trailed 2-1.
• STU got the run back in the sixth after Chris Garabedian scored from third while Elih Marrero was caught up in a rundown between first and second. After loading the bases with two-outs, the Bobcats plated an unearned run with a single to second, making it 4-1.
• Neither team managed a run in the final three innings as the teams had just one-hit apeice, with Bobcats coming away with the opening game.
