Middle Innings Go Sideways As Baseball Stumbles At FAMU

 
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Mississippi Valley State University baseball program took a 5-2 lead following a three-run third, but five and six run-frames from Florida A&M was too much to overcome during a 14-8 setback in game three.
 
The Basics:
 
  • Score
    • Florida A&M – 14
    • Mississippi Valley – 8
 
  • Records
    • Mississippi Valley (11-25, 7-11 SWAC)
    • Florida A&M (20-17, 15-3 SWAC)
   
  • Series History (Since 2011)
    • Rattlers Lead 23-2 (8%)
 
  • Winning Streak (Since 2011)
    • Rattlers (W3) / Diamond Devils' Last Win: April 13, 2025 (10-6)
 
Diamond Devils' Top Performers:
 
  • Chris Soeder was a big-time run producer for Coach Bilbrey, driving in half of the team's runs thanks to a two-run double, a sacrifice fly, plus an RBI-groundout.
 
  • Cody Leming continues to stockpile extra-base hits, recording his first career triple at a four year institution, driving in two teammates with the other coming on another sac fly alongside stealing a base.
 
  • Jace Jones pitched well as the last arm out of the pen, hurling 2.2 innings in which he did not give up an earned run (one unearned) while registering five of his eight strikeouts via the K (62.5%).
 
  • Tanner Aoki as well as Tom Early both had nearly identical lines: two runs scored, a single, and a walk apiece; the only difference would be Aoki also getting on-base via a hit-by-pitch too.
 
  • Logan Darnell got the nod to start on the hill, tossing three frames of two-run baseball (only one earned) plus a pair of punchouts.
 
Next:
  
  • The Diamond Devils will join their softball counterparts over in Montgomery this weekend with Friday's 6 p.m. first pitch going up against the Alabama State Hornets.
