Gainesville, FL – The Santa Fe Saints let game one of a double header against South Florida State College slip away but held on in game two to earn a split with the Panthers Saturday afternoon in Avon Park.
Santa Fe (3-5) opened up game one with 10 runs in the first three innings but fell apart defensively, allowing seven unearned runs to spark a Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»SC come from behind, 11-10 victory in extra innings.
Roger Gonzalez led the offense, going 3-for-6 with two doubles and two RBI, Jonathan Camp was 2-for-4 with two doubles and four RBI, Brady Roberson was 2-for-4, Casey Scoggins finished 2-for-4 with a double and Payson Smith was also 2-for-4.
In game two Jake Reimer started on the hill and tossed 6.1 innings to earn the win. Jeremy Graff pitched the final two outs to earn the save in the 6-5 victory.
The Saints had to come from behind to get the double header split after trailing 3-1 through two innings. Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» scored two in the third, one in the fourth, and two in the sixth.
The Panthers made things interesting in the seventh, scoring a run to pull it to 6-5 and loaded the bases with just one out. Graf made the pitch he needed in that big spot, getting the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»SC batter to roll one over to the short stop who started the 6-4-3 double play to end the game.
Roberson powered the offense in game two going 3-for-4 with a homerun and two RBI.
The Saints next game is at home on Monday, February 17 against Polk State College at 3:00 PM.
