Lander Claims First PBC Series with 7-3 win over Flagler

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – The Lander baseball team secured its first Peach Belt Conference series win of the season Saturday, defeating the Flagler Saints 7-3 in Game 2 of a three-game set at Drysdale Field.

The Bearcats (12-5, 2-0 PBC) were led by Dominic Puccetti (Monroe, Mich.), who pitched 8 1/3 innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on nine hits while striking out five.

Grant Sherrod (Sumner, Wash.) and Lowndes Still (Greenwood, S.C.) each drove in two runs for the Blue and Gold, while Will McClellan (Anderson, S.C.) added his team-leading fourth home run of the season.

Lander built a 3-0 lead through four innings, scoring one run in the second, third and fourth.

Dominic Puccetti (Monroe, Mich.) sacrifice fly in the second put the Bearcats on the board. Evan Wickeri (Middleburg, Fla.) came home on an error in the third, and McClellan capped the scoring stretch with a solo homer in the fourth.

The Saints (11-5, 0-2 PBC) cut the deficit to one in the bottom of the fourth and had the tying run in scoring position, but Puccetti induced a flyout to escape the jam.

From there, Puccetti allowed only three hits the rest of the way, two of which came in the ninth when Lander already led 7-2.

Sherrod extended the lead with an RBI single in the fifth to make it 4-2 and added another in the ninth for a 5-2 advantage. Still, pinch hitting for Mario Lopez Jr. (Tampa, Fla.)., followed with a two-run single to push the lead to 7-2.

Flagler got a run back on a solo homer in the ninth, but Joshua Sanchez (Pembroke Pines, Fla.) closed out the win to clinch the series.

The teams wrap up the series Sunday with a 1 p.m. first pitch.
