MONTGOMERY, Alabama – Troy strung together six runs in the last five innings to defeat in-state foe Alabama State, 6-4, at Wheeler-Watkins Baseball Complex Tuesday night.
The Trojans (17-14) were efficient at the plate despite only six hits, as all nine of Troy's starters reached base safely at least once.
Brandon Lockridge led the Trojans - going 2-for-5 with two RBIs in the contest. Lockridge broke the scoreless tie in the fifth inning with a two-RBI single to tie his career-long 16-game hitting streak.
Chase Smartt also turned in a multi-RBI game for Troy after doubling in a run in the seventh and driving in an insurance run on a sacrifice fly in the ninth.
