Dukes Fall to Tennessee
3/6/2018 7:30:00 PM | Baseball
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – James Madison dropped a 10-1 decision to Tennessee in non-conference baseball action at Lindsey Nelson Stadium on Tuesday evening.
Â
The Dukes (7-5) scored their sole run in the final inning of the game while the Volunteers (8-5) put up seven of their 10 runs in the first inning.
Â
Freshman Josh Jones led the Dukes offensively going 2-for-3 at the plate, his third two-hit game of the season, while sophomore Fox Semones went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a walk.
Â
Sophomore Harry Brown extended his hit streak to eight games after he tallied a single in the third inning and senior Zach Tondi moved his reached-base streak to 11 games after drawing a walk in the first inning, reaching base in every game that he has played in this season.
Â
On the mound, junior Christian Bourne suffered his first loss of the season (0-1). Junior Garrett Richards came in for relief in the first inning and delivered 4.2 innings of scoreless baseball, striking out one batter.
Â
Tennessee scored seven runs on seven hits (three doubles and four singles) with two runs being scored on a balk and a wild pitch in the first inning. The Volunteers added two more runs in the seventh inning of a pinch-hit two-run home run from freshman Brandon Trammell before scoring their final run in the eighth off a double play that scored the runner on third.
Â
In the ninth, senior Ryan Coale drew a pinch-hit one out walk with the bases loaded that scored JMU's only run of the game.
Â
QUOTING COACH IKE
"When you give up seven runs in the first inning, you set yourself up for a long night. Give credit to Richards for coming in early in the first and tossing 4.2 scoreless innings. I was proud of the way our guys played defense and fought hard all game. We just can't give up so many runs in the first inning and expect to win ball games."
Â
UP NEXT
The Dukes will play a rematch against Tennessee on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. in Knoxville.
