MELBOURNE, Fla. –
Tripp Davis led the way with five hits, including a double, and he scored four runs and drove in another as Flagler College routed Florida Tech 21-9 in a non-conference baseball game Tuesday night at Seminick-Hall Field.
Flagler won its sixth game in a row to improve to 6-1 overall. Florida Tech suffered its second consecutive loss and dropped to 5-2. The Saints open Peach Belt Conference play this weekend at Columbus State University with the three-game series starting on Friday.
The Saints gave up five runs in the bottom of the first to the Panthers, but was able to answer that in the top of the second with a five-spot of their own.
Flagler used a four-run third to pull away.
Patrick Mazzamaro hit a run-scoring triple and then scored on
Cael Reish's infield single to put Flagler up, 6-4. Later in the inning,
