PITTSBURG -- The Pitt State baseball team scored five runs in the seventh inning to rally from a 4-3 deficit and claim an 8-4 victory over Northeastern State Wednesday (Mar. 9) at Al Ortolani Field.
Ryan Reddick singled home Chase Barnes with the go-ahead run for Pitt State (3-4), which snapped a four-game losing streak against the winless Riverhawks (0-16). The Gorillas tacked on three more insurance runs in the frame.
Reddick and Jason Graves paced Pitt State's 12-hit attack with three hits apiece. Brian Dean had a two-run double and Ryan Bilovesky drove in a pair of runs for the Gorillas.
Tyler Link (1-0) earned the win in relief allowing two runs in three innings of work behind starter Caleb Gress.
Pitt State will return to action Saturday (Mar. 12) when the Gorillas open a four-game MIAA series against Nebraska-Omaha. The two teams will meet at 1 p.m. (CST).
