#UAPBBaseball Perez's 8-Strikeouts Showing Powers Golden Lions Over LeMoyne-Owen

PINE BLUFF, Arkansas --Freshman Frank Perez was mowing people down on Tuesday, fanning eight LeMoyne-Owen hitters over three innings of work to help lead the UAPB Golden Lions over the Magicians 12-3.

In addition to his eight strikeouts, Perez (1-1) threw three innings, giving up one run on two hits and walking four for UAPB (2-7-1). Junior Andre Greene also made an impact on the mound for the Golden Lions, throwing one scoreless inning while allowing no hits, with no walks and three strikeouts.

In the batter's box, the Golden Lions were led by junior Declaudio Irvin, who went 2-for-3 on the day with a double and two RBIs. Sophomore Lawrence Noble put together a noteworthy day at the plate as well, going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Sophomore Dante Leach also chipped in for UAPB, putting together two hits in five trips to the plate while adding an RBI.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Golden Lions were trailing 1-0 in the fifth inning when they first put runs on the board. Junior Karsten Vasquez came across to score the lone run of the inning for UAPB and get them on the board.

The score stayed at 1-1 until the very next inning, when the Golden Lions put runs on the scoreboard once again. Leach came across to score the lone run of the inning for UAPB, which brought the score to 2-1 in favor of the Golden Lions.

UAPB's lead had disappeared once the seventh inning came around and turned into a 3-2 LeMoyne-Owen advantage, when the Golden Lions re-gained control at 8-3. The Golden Lions bats heated up in the inning, scoring six runs, including a two-run double off the bat of Irvin.

UAPB held the Magicians without a run before their offense got things moving the next inning. The Golden Lions scored four runs in the inning, highlighted by a one-run double off the bat of sophomore Edwin DeLaCruz, bringing the UAPB advantage to 12-3. The score remained 12-3 for the rest of the game, as the Golden Lions coasted to the win.
