@NKUNorseBSB suffers 12-4 setback at Georgia State

ATLANTA  – A four-run fifth inning brought the Northern Kentucky University baseball team within three runs of Georgia State on Saturday afternoon, but the Panthers pulled away with the help of a four-run eighth to defeat NKU, 12-4, at GSU Baseball Complex.

The Norse move to 1-8 overall while Georgia State improves to 6-3.

At the Plate
  • Seven different players combined for eight team hits.
  • Junior first baseman Trey Ganns posted his third multi-hit game this season, going 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI.
  • Designated hitter Chad Roberts and second baseman Ty Amann added one RBI apiece.
On the Mound
  • Starter Jordan Menfee absorbed the loss after throwing the first two innings.
  • Junior Brody Basilone relieved Menfee and tossed 2.0 innings, allowing two hits and one run while walking none.
  • Sophomore reliever Seth Rosenberg faced the minimum in his 1.0 shutout inning pitched before Kyle Arganbright took to the mound and threw 1.1 inning with one run allowed.
  • Cameron Ross relieved Arganbright and picked up a pair of quick outs to end the seventh.
Key Moments
  • A four-run first inning helped Georgia State speed out to a 7-0 lead through three innings. Five singles fueled the four-run first. The Panthers then added two runs in the second and one in the third.
  • Norse relievers Basilone and Rosenberg set the Panthers down in order in the fourth and fifth.
  • Meanwhile, the offense closed the gap to 7-4 with a four-run fifth. TJ Alas and Jake Richmond led off the frame with a pair of singles before Ganns delivered an RBI single, Roberts slapped an RBI double and Amann pushed a run across on a groundout.
  • Georgia State added a run in the bottom of the sixth on a Cam Sperry RBI single before Arganbright delivered an inning-ending strikeout to strand three Panthers on base.
  • GSU's four-run eighth included a three-run home run from Terrell Frazier that helped seal the win.
Norse Notes
  • Richmond has posted a .571 average (4-for-7) in two games against Georgia State. Two of his four hits have been doubles. The junior has also scored three times in the series.
  • Richmond extended his reached base streak to five games, as he has recorded a base hit in four-straight contests.
  • Ganns has posted five RBI in the last three games and has batted .462 (6-for-13) in that span.
  • Basilone made his fourth appearance out of the bullpen and has held opponents to a .217 average.
Up Next
  • The Norse look to avoid the sweep in the series finale on Sunday at 1 p.m. at GSU Baseball Complex.
