Gainesville, FL – The winningest class in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» history finished up their career at Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» Field the way they started it, defeating Seminole State College 10-4 Monday afternoon. The sophomore class started their careers with a 12-5 win over Hillsborough State College in January 2016.
Kyle Morton (7-2) started the game on the hill, going 5.2 innings with six strikeouts. Ricky Miranda pitched the final 3.1 innings allowing no runs on three hits.
The Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» Saints (34-11, 7-5 MFC) scored seven runs in a big second inning in seven hits and a Raider error. Danny DiMare started the frame with a triple, Leo Rodriguez also tripled in the inning, and Brandon Hernandez and Kyle Phillips doubled.
A home run by Seminole State in the third cut it to a 7-2 lead but Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» answered with two runs in the bottom of the third on an error and a Phillips RBI double.
The Raiders scored a run in the fifth and a run in the sixth, but that's all they would get as Miranda shut them down the rest of the way.
Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» would add an insurance run in the eighth on a two out RBI double by Alex Goebel.
Kyle Phillips finished 3-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and a RBI. Alex Goebel was 2-for-5 with a double, RBI and a run scored, and Mikey Navarrete was 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored.
The win leaves Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» a game behind St. John's River State College in the Mid-Florida Conference standings with two to play for Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» and one for SJRSC.
The Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» Saints will head out on the road on Wednesday, April 19, against Lake Sumter at 3 p.m.
