Argos Fall to Spartans in Game One

TAMPA, Fla. – The University of West Florida baseball team dropped game one of the series in an 8-1 loss to Tampa in the NCAA DII South Super Regional on Thursday afternoon. 

Tampa was first on the board with an RBI single in the bottom of the first that gave them the lead. Jacob Heath started on the mound for the Argos and saw a one-two-three inning in the bottom of the second with back-to-back strikeouts. He added his fourth strikeout in the bottom of the third after Tampa added two more on a homer, as the Argos stayed with only one hit and no runs on the board. 

The top of the fourth saw a single by Cade Easterbrook and he advanced to second after Tanner Taylor took a pitch to the arm. Easterbrook scored with two outs on a wild pitch that allowed him to run home, making it a two-run game. 

Tampa added four runs on three hits in the bottom of the fourth, pushing their lead to 7-1. Eventually they added one more in the bottom of the eighth on relief pitcher Colton Dorsey. Blake Thomas came in to finish things out for the Argos. West Florida could not capitalize and fell 8-1 to the Spartans. 

The Argos will be back tomorrow for game two against the Spartans at 1:00 p.m. ET.
