Dukes Cruise Past St. Bonaventure, 14-3
3/9/2018 8:11:00 PM | Baseball
HARRISONBURG, Va. – Led by sophomore Fox Semones hitting a grand slam in the fourth inning, James Madison baseball powered past St. Bonaventure, 14-3 in non-conference play at Eagle Field on Friday evening.
Â
The Dukes (9-5) scored at least one run in every inning between the first through six innings while keeping the Bonnies (2-7) to just five hits throughout the game.
Â
Semones went 1-for-3 at the plate with two runs scored and a career-high four RBI while senior Mike Sciorra went 2-for-3 with an inside-the-park home run alongside two runs scored and three RBI. Senior Adam Sisk hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning and scored a run in the game.
Â
Senior Colton Harlow notched his second win of the season (2-1) after tossing five innings, striking out two batters and giving up only two hits.
Â
JMU plated eight of its 14 runs in the second and fourth inning, as freshman Josh Jones scored off a bad throw by the short stop trying to get the better out at first before Sciorra tallied his home run in the second inning. Sophomore Matt Dipasupil hit an RBI single in the third and another RBI single in the sixth inning, driving in the last run for the Dukes to tie his career high for RBI in a game.
Â
St. Bonaventure scored a run in the fourth off a ground ball to second base and plated their final two runs in the seventh inning off singles by sophomore Ben MacDonald and junior Brandon Henshaw. Â
Â
QUOTING COACH IKE
"I thought Harlow did a nice job getting us through five innings today, he kept battling and that's what is most important. Also, Bourne did a nice job in the last two innings for us with coming off of his last outing. I'm really proud of our offense, I think Sciorra set the tone with the inside-the-park home run, then Semones and Sisk both followed with home runs which was great. Our offense is starting to do some special things right now, particularly with hitting up and down the lineup which is what we want to see as a coaching staff."
Â
UP NEXT
The Dukes will play game two of the three-game series against St. Bonaventure on Saturday, with first pitch slated for a 2 p.m. start.
