The Tampa Spartans finished a three game series against the Rollins College Tars Saturday April 18 with a game score of 8-2, 12-5 and 2-1; ending Senior Day with a big hit.
Starting off the game at the bottom of the first Tampa led the Tars with one hit. Unsatisfied, the Tars starting designated hitter, Michael Garczynski, caught up with one run while three hits were also made at the top of the third.
Never letting down their crowd, the Spartans shot back with two runs by starting center fielder Tyler Cox and second baseman Correy Figueroa. A pitch hit designated hitter, Mike Schwartz, getting him a walk and advancing Figueroa to second and Cox to third. Jose Jimenez then hit a fly ball out to right field enabling Cox a score and due to a third base fumble, Figueroa got a run for the team.
Top of the fourth Alex Koronis filled in for sophomore and starting pitcher, Josh Bowman, who struck out three Tars and kept the Spartans safe with only one run.
After the game Bowman with a grin on his face and said, “The Rollins series was a huge series for us because we finally swept a team we were supposed to sweep. The pitching and hitting finally came together for an entire series and we got the job done the way it should've been done the entire season.”
As the sun shone down on the players, Koronis gave Rollins a run for their money as he struck out six in the remaining three innings.
With four hits, the Tars had opportunity to stack up some runs as they did in game one but the Spartans held their ground as defeaters. There were many cheers in the stands as Spartan attendees were thrilled of their win.
