College Baseball: Edward Waters downs Flagler

-

JACKSONVILLE – A pair of wild pitches allowed two runs to score which gave Edward Waters University the lead for good in a 7-4 win over Flagler College in a non-conference baseball game Tuesday evening at Henry L. Aaron Field at James P. Small Memorial Ballpark.

Edward Waters won its fourth game in a row to improve to 26-19. Flagler dropped to 30-15. The Saints wrap up conference play this weekend with a three-game series at Augusta University. The first game of the series is on Friday at 6 p.m.

A sacrifice fly and a squeeze bunt by Flagler in the fourth inning knotted the game at 3-all.

Edward Waters loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the fourth. After a pitching change and a strikeout, the Tigers took advantage of some wild pitches and scored two runs to take the lead for good. They added two more runs in the sixth for insurance.

Cason Shurling (4-1), the third pitcher used by the Tigers, allowed two runs on three hits in four innings to get the win. Ty Mitzel set down all three batters he faced in the ninth to pick up a save.

Daniel Donaldson-Fountain finished a triple shy of the cycle and had two runs batted in for Edward Waters. Joseph Di Cesare collected two singles and scored three runs.

Logan Brown (3-2), the third of seven Flagler pitchers used, surrendered a run on two hits in one inning of work to get the loss.

Holden Bradshaw finished with three singles and one RBI. Payton Palladino hit two doubles and scored three runs.

Jared C. Tilton (Getty Images) William Byron celebrates Sunday's Daytona on Victory Lane By Don Coble   DAYTONA BEACH – William Byron’s race-winning move started when the field stormed off the second turn on the final lap of the rain-delayed Daytona 500 Sunday night. As the leaders frantically jockeyed for position on the backstretch, the cars on the inside lane seemed the most out of control. He went for broke by moving next to the outside wall at the Daytona International Speedway. “I just trusted my instincts,” Byron said after becoming the first driver to win consecutive 500s since Denny Hamlin won in 2019-20. “I was getting in the third lane, regardless, because I was probably sixth coming out back.” As he expected, the inside turned into a high-speed game of bumper cars along the backstretch. Although cars were crashing and sliding in every direction, his Chevrolet darted through the carnage unscathed in an improbable rally that took him from ninth place to Victory Lane...

Golf: Remembering Kathy Whitworth, the Game’s Greatest Winner

  The golf world and the world in general lost one of its most incredible women with the passing of Kathy Whitworth yesterday. Kathy was a champion in the truest sense of the word, both on the golf course and off. In the short time I spent with Kathy, I was truly blown away by her and her approach to the game and to life. Her strength, insightfulness and vibrancy were obvious from the minute you met her! She inspired me as a young girl and now as the commissioner and I know she did the same for so many others. We all mourn with Bettye, her family and the entire golf world.” – LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan (From the LPGA) By Ron Sirak The dining room at Trophy Club Country Club near Flower Mound, Texas, gazes upon the rolling hills and old oak trees through which two courses meander, one named for the club’s most famous member, Kathy Whitworth, the other the lone design by the icon of Texas golf, Ben Hogan. Inside the dining room the wall opposite the windows appears at fi...

(Photo by Nancy Beecher/Florida Sports Wire)   TAMPA (Florida Sports Wire) - Garrett Nussmeier showed why LSU is confident he's capable of thriving as Jayden Daniels' successor. The 13th-ranked Tigers (10-3) launched the team's post-Daniels era with a 35-31, come-from-behind victory over Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday, with a calm Nussmeier leading a 98-yard drive to produce the winning touchdown in the closing minutes. "You do what you have to do to win the football game. It doesn't matter if you start from the 1, the 2 ... you just stick to the process play-by-play, move the chains, move the chains and put the ball in the end zone," the third-year sophomore said. "That doesn't just speak to me, it speaks to our entire group," Nussmeier added. "You can't do it by yourself. And to go 98 yards with the game on the line, that means a lot to me. To be the leader of the offense, that matters more." Stepping in to make his f...
