    Wildcats snap Aggies MEAC winning streak

    The Bethune-Cookman Wildcats (19-13, 6-0) completed a three-game sweep of the Aggies (11-20, 6-3) on Sunday with their 13-3 win at Jackie Robinson Park.

    The game snapped the Aggies 3-game MEAC winning streak.

    They put three runs on the board in the first inning thanks to four singles and one Aggie error.

    The score would remain 3-0 until the top of the fourth inning.

    The Aggies were able to cut into the lead with two runs off of four walks and a hit.

    Wildcats starting pitcher Andrew Tilka was pulled after leading the inning off with two walks.

    Relief pitcher Rayan Gonzalez surrendered the two runs already on base but was able to leave two Aggie runners stranded.

    BCU was able to put distance between themselves and the Aggies in the bottom of the inning. 

    They scored six runs off of six hits and two A&T errors and gained a 9-2 advantage.

    The Wildcats added three more runs in the sixth inning on their way to the win.

    The first game between these two teams, on Saturday, didn’t play out the same but the 13-3 score did.

    Senior Nick Rogers had two hits, a walk and two RBI’s in the loss.Freshman Dario Little went 4-7 with a run, a RBI and a walk in the two games combined.

    The Aggies were able to score a little bit more in the second game, despite an 11-7 loss.

    Rogers was the Aggies biggest asset and liability in that game. As the number three hitter in the lineup, he went 3-4 with two homeruns and four RBI’s.

    He helped them climb ahead to a 7-2 lead that they controlled into the bottom of the sixth inning.

    The Aggies return home tonight when they host Gardner-Webb at 6.

    Gardner-Webb beat the Aggies 12-8 at their place on March 30.
