CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel baseball team was defeated 4-1 by Furman on Sunday afternoon inside Joe Riley Park.
Jacob Watcher matched his career best with 6.0 innings of work on the mound, scattering six hits and fanning two. The sophomore allowed two base runners in the first five innings before giving up a home run with two outs that gave Furman (20-24, 8-7 SoCon) a 2-0 lead. Watcher threw just 83 pitches over the course of the six innings and did not issue a walk.
The Citadel (15-30, 5-10 SoCon) answered with a run of its own in the bottom of the fifth frame on a double to the left field wall by Stephen Windham to score Mike Deese from first, but a hard-hit lineout to left field by Ben Peden just three pitches later stranded Windham on second.
Mike Deese, Barrett Charpia and Windham all collected two hits in the contest. Jason Smith and Clay Martin accounted for the other two base knocks for The Citadel, finishing with eight hits total.
The Bulldogs continue SoCon play at Mercer beginning on Thursday at 6 p.m. Live stats, audio and video will be available at CitadelSports.com for the game.
