SAVANNAH, Ga.- Savannah State University used timely hitting and strong pitching in their 5-3 non-conference win over University of South Carolina Beaufort at Tiger Field on Tuesday afternoon.

The timely hitting was from William Mahoney IV, Tyler Tucker and Brevin Smith.

The strong pitching came from Solomon Masters, Smith and Adonis Perez. The trio combined to strike out seven USCB batters while limiting them to seven hits 

The win was the Tigers sixth in a row and 11th in their past 12 contests.

Savannah State scored their runs in the second, third and fourth innings.

In the bottom of the second, Reginald Tuggle led off with a single to left field and scored on a double to right field by Mahoney. After Kijani Clarington was hit by a pitch, Tucker stepped to the plate and hit a double to right field that allowed Mahoney and Clarington to cross home plate for a 3-0 lead.

Smith drew a walk in the third inning and scored on a single to center field by Tucker for a 4-0 advantage and in the bottom of the fourth, Kendal Spencer was issued a walk and a single to center field by Smith brought him home to put the Orange & Blue ahead by five runs.

The Sand Sharks loaded the bases in the fifth and came away with two runs to slice the SSU lead to 5-2.

USCB had runners in scoring position in the seventh but came away empty but managed to score a run in the top of  the eighth to pull within 5-3.

In the top of the ninth, the visitors from Beaufort, South Carolina had a runner on third base with two outs but Perez struck the batter out out to end the game.
