Griffins Split Doubleheader at Alderson Broaddus

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

The Griffins hit the road to Philippi, WV to battle Alderson Broaddus in a WVIAC doubleheader on Friday afternoon.  SHU used the pitching of Alex Haines and the bat of Mike Cima for a 2-0 victory in game one.  AB battled back and took game two by a 6-2 score.   SHU is now 11-4 overall and 5-1 in WVIAC play.
 
Game one was a pitcher's dual between the Griffins Alex Haines and AB's Jeff Conley.  Each pitcher gave up just two hits thru four innings.  The Griffins threatened in the fifth but a flyout ended the threat.  AB followed with an opportunity of their own but a botched double steal ended their fifth. 
 
The Griffins finally put a dent in the scoreboard in the sixth.  Brandon Jossey led off with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice by Brendan Costantino.  After a strikeout, Mike Cima actually put a dent in the scoreboard with a homer off the scoreboard in left center to give the Griffins a 2-0 lead. 
 
Alex Haines earned the win, going the distance, striking out 8 and giving up 5 hits.  Brandon Jossey had two hits for the Griffins. 
 
AB took a 3-0 lead in game two with a three run homer in the bottom of the first of game two.  AB added a run in the second on 4 hits to increase the lead to 4-0.  Ryan Hayden led off the third with a solo homer to left to make it 4-1.  AB added another run in the fifth to make it 5-1.  AB tacked another one on in the sixth to extend the lead to 6-1.  Pat McCarthy drove in a run in the seventh to cut the lead to 6-2.      
 
Mike Cima and Josh Forbes each had two hits.
