Senior pitcher Chance Abrath allowed his only run scored in the first inning as he totaled five complete innings of work, giving up just four hits and one walk. He also struck out seven Coyote batters.
The Storm pushed across three runs in the bottom of the third inning, which started with a single by redshirt junior infielder Drew McLaughlin. McLaughlin also singled in a run in the fifth inning before finishing 3-5 with 3 RBIs.
Redshirt senior Tanner Morache also had three hits in the affair while driving home one RBI and stealing two bases. Morache has had at least one hit in each of the four games to start the season.
Junior outfielder Miles Bice’s pinch-hit double in the eighth inning started a DSU rally that pushed home six total runs capped off by redshirt senior Sam Hall’s single, which scored redshirt junior outfielder Trey Kamachi. DSU shut the door with a 1-2-3 inning in the top of the ninth to secure the victory and the series sweep 10-2.
