MONTGOMERY, AL – A first-inning error opened the door to a 5-run Alabama State outburst and Bradley (5-4) was never able to climb out of the hole as the host Hornets (3-10) held on for a 9-8 win to salvage the finale of the 3-game weekend series Sunday at Wheeler-Watkins Baseball Complex.
Facing a 9-3 deficit after the seven innings, Bradley got one run back in the eighth and then pushed across four runs in the ninth before the Hornets finally put out the fire. Eli Rawlinson started the ninth-inning scoring with a 2-run home run and after Carl Valk reached on a 2-out error, things really got interesting.
