Gorillas Storm Back For 12-10 Series Opening Win

PITTSBURG -- Josh Holmes delivered a pinch hit two-run double with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning to lift Pittsburg State University to a 12-10 series opening win over Northwest Missouri State University Friday (Mar. 1) at Al Ortolani Field.

The Gorillas (11-5, 2-2 MIAA) trailed 8-3 after three innings of play, but Pitt State got four runs in the bottom of the fourth and three more runs in the sixth frame to knot the score at 10-10.

Boston Dowd (2-0) allowed one hit and fanned two batters in 2.0 innings of work to earn the win in relief. Andrew Wisner pocketed his third save of the season by registering the final three outs in the ninth.

Blake Mozley, Cade Clemons and Nixon Brannan each joined Holmes with two RBI each. Brannan collected three hits in the contest, including a double, while Clemons tripled and went 2-for-4 at the plate. The Gorillas also benefited from a pair of NWMSU (8-8, 1-3 MIAA) errors in the contest.

The two squads will resume the three-game MIAA series with a 1 p.m. (CST) contest Saturday.
