TROY, Alabama – Little Rock was able to take advantage of three Troy miscues to come out on top of a 3-1 pitchers' battle in the Sun Belt opener Friday night at Riddle-Pace Field.
Troy (12-6, 0-1) was unable to string hits together with runners on – going 0-for-10 in the game in that situation. The Trojans' lone run came after Brandon Lockridge tripled in the third and was brought home on a Matt Sanders sacrifice fly.
Lockridge led the bats with a 2-for-4 night at the plate with a double and the triple – the eighth of his career which ties him for second in school history in career triples.
