Now that’s how you get over a bad loss.
Towson traveled to Delaware State today and stomped on the Hornets, 12-2. It was a good day for Tigers pitchers Bo Plagge, Mason Anderson, and Alex Parker. Each went three innings and walked only one. Parker was particularly effective, striking out four in his three innings, while Anderson pitched the middle third of the game and earned the win. Plagge gave up one run in the first and third innings, but got one back with his second home run of the season.
Richard Miller had a huge game, as every Tigers batter, except the catchers, had at least one hit. Miller drilled his third homer on the year, going 4-5 with five RBI and two runs scored and missing the cycle by only a double.
As advertised, Delaware State had defensive issues, committing six errors, though those only led to two unearned runs. Today was mostly about the Towson offense.
Positive Pixels
- Alex Parker got his first save of the season – and career – with another scoreless outing. He has not allowed a run since the first game of the season, a stretch spanning four appearances and 8.1 innings.
- Mason Anderson got his first win of the season – and career. Anderson, who has battled back from injuries, had his best outing of the season, allowing only three baserunners in three innings.
- Mark Grunberg had two more hits to reach the Mendoza line for the season. He now has a four game hitting streak.
- Fifth year senior Colin Gimblet had two hits and two RBIs.
The Watch List
Richie Palacios, SS – 2-3, 2 walks, 4 runs, 1 stolen base. Another excellent performance by Palacios.
Andrew Cassard, OF – 1-5, 1 walk, 1 run. Cassard struck out a couple of times, but got on base twice and scored for the third straight game. That’s what a lead-off man is supposed to do.
Dirk Masters, 2B – DNP
Bo Plagge, P/DH – 3 innings, 2 earned runs, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts; 1-4, 1 walk, 2 runs, 1 home run, 1 RBI. Setting aside the issue of whether a pitcher is, in fact, a DH when he bats for himself (though he certainly was once he left the mound after three), Plagge effected the game in many ways today.
David Marriggi, P – DNP
Up Next
Towson takes on UMBC at 3 P.M. game tomorrow at Schuerholz Field.
