Big Days From Maldet, Crowson Lead Falcons Over Lions

FRANKLIN SPRINGS, Ga. – The University of Montevallo baseball team takes down the Emmanuel College Lions on Wednesday, Mar. 26. With the 8-2 win, the Falcons improve to 17-14 while the Lions move to 14-18.
 
The Falcons gained the early lead as Jacob Pearl, who started the game with a walk, came around to score on an error on Emmanuel. Montevallo starting pitcher, Zach Wyatt, pitched an important shutdown inning to keep the momentum in the Falcon dugout.
 
UM extended their lead with a four-run second inning. Payton Stephenson led off with a double down the right field line. After a sacrifice bunt by Mitchell Walker, Dominic Maldet blasted his second home run of the season to put the Falcons up 3-0. Daniel Irizarry was hit by a pitch, then moved up to second on Jacob Pearl's single to center. Connor Crowson doubled to left to score Irizarry. Pearl scored a batter later on an error by the Lion defense.
 
Emmanuel was able to take advantage on back-to-back walks to lead off the bottom of the second. After a double-play by the Falcon defense, the Lions scored their first run of the game with a two-out single to center. This would be the only damage against Zach Wyatt as he turned in a nice outing of three innings pitched, two hits, two walks, one earned run and one strike out.
 
The Falcons relievers were excellent as they combined for six innings, only allowing two hits, no walks and six strikeouts between Logan Medsker, Matthew Bullard, Mitchell Rhodes, Mason Creacy and Sam Patrick.
 
UM struck again as Crowson led off the seventh with a double to center. He scored a batter later with a single up the middle by Evan Radford. Emmanuel responded with a run of their own with a triple to right field.
 
Payton Stephenson would put the game out of reach in the ninth as he drove in Zac Carlisle and Preston Bedford as he tripled to center. Sam Patrick would close the game out in the ninth as he notched two strikeouts in his appearance.
