Claflin Open Mid-Week Series with a Loss to Virginia State

Petersburg, Va.— Claflin University baseball team dropped the opening game of the three-game non-conference series with Virginia State University, falling to the Trojans 20-1 on Tuesday, Mar. 10 at the Whaley Colbert Field on the campus of Virginia State University.
 
The two teams will face on another on Saturday, Mar. 11, in a non-conference doubleheader.  First pitch is set for 1 p.m. with the second game starting approximately 20 minutes after the conclusion of the first. 
 
Virginia State jumped out quick on Claflin, putting up seven runs in the bottom of the opening inning.  The Trojans offense was clicking on all cylinders, scoring in each innings, putting up one in the second, five in each of the third and fourth, and one in each of the fifth and seventh innings for its 20 runs.
 
The Panthers offense was very stagnant putting up just six hits over the nine innings.  Virginia State put up 15 hits.
 
Claflin got its run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth as an error by the Trojans short-stop allowed Jordan McCray to score from third for the run.
 
Tyquon Wilkins went six innings, allowing just four hits with six strikeouts in picking up the win.  Keati Buchanian, who went two-thirds of an inning allowing seven runs, all earned, was the losing pitcher of record.
