Clapp has second game-ender in a week as Flagler edges AIC

ST. AUGUSTINE – Taylor Clapp's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth ended the game as Flagler College rallied to a 6-5 win over American International College Sunday afternoon at Drysdale Field.

Flagler extended its winning streak to six games and is now 6-8. AIC leaves with a 1-6 record. Up next for the Saints is Palm Beach Atlantic University on Tuesday at West Palm Beach, Florida.

Clapp had a walk-off single last Tuesday against Rollins College.

The Saints tied the score at 5-all with a two-run eighth inning thanks to an RBI double by Clapp and a run-scoring single by Riley Fitzgerald.

Alex Perez (0-1) came in to pitch in the bottom of the nine for the Yellow Jackets. He walked Trey Newland to start the inning. After a flyout, Newland stole second base. The AIC shortstop was ejected from the game after arguing with the umpire as he thought Newland was out. A wild pitch moved Newland to third, and after working a 3-1 count, Luke Welborn was intentionally walked. The second pitch Clapp saw, he hit in the air to straight away center. The throw to the plate was not in time to catch the speedy Newland.

The beginning of the game was a pitching duel. Newland led off with a single in the first inning for Flagler, but starter Ethan Teixeira retired 14 of the next 15 batters. Conversely, Benjamin Stubbs carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning. He struck out a career-high eight batters.

Jesse Sullivan came off the bench for the Saints and collected a pair of singles and drove in two runs. His pinch hit two-run single in the seventh gave Flagler a 3-2 lead. Riley Fitzgerald finished with two singles, a run scored, and he had one run batted in. Newland scored two runs and stole two bases.

Blake Pesante (2-0) tossed two scoreless innings to earn the win in relief. He scattered two hits, walked a batter, and fanned three.

Brendan Edvardsen hit two singles, scored two runs, and stole three bases for the Yellow Jackets. Ryan Lavelle went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored.
