Colonels knock off Millsaps 13-1 for sixth straight win

DANVILLE, Ky. – After pulling off a doubleheader victory on Saturday, Centre baseball went into Sunday's contest with Millsaps looking to complete the series sweep. The Colonels accomplished just that with a convincing 13-1 victory in seven innings to increase their winning streak to six games and improve their record to 10-5 overall and 5-1 in the Southern Athletic Association.
 
GAME HIGHLIGHTS
 
- Josh Livengood pitched his way out of an early jam, and then the Centre offense went to work in the first inning. Josh Cunningham and Dillon Di Iorio led off with consecutive singles. Karson Thompson and Chase Austin then connected with base hits to right field, giving the Colonels an early 2-0 lead.
- In Centre's half of the fourth, Will Cline led off with a base hit over the shortstop's head. Jamie Laframboise followed with a walk, and then an errant throw by the pitcher allowed Cline to score. Cole Fergusson was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Two batters later, another Millsaps error led to two RBIs for Di Iorio. Thompson capped off the four-run rally with an RBI single to give the Colonels a 6-0 edge.
- The Colonels loaded the bases once again in the fifth and scored their first run of the inning after Ferguson lifted a blooper into no man's land. A Cunningham walk and a sac fly from Di Iorio added two more runs, and then the third Millsaps error of the game allowed two more runs to score to make it 11-0. With the bases still loaded, Cline lined one the other way to score Thompson and Ben Prather, giving Centre a 13-0 advantage.
