Baseball Ends Season With Doubleheader Loss

Bucs fall in Monday afternoon games

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. -- Barry baseball ended its 2016 season Monday afternoon, falling to Sunshine State Conference foe Florida Southern, 12-10 and 6-3.

Game 1 was a battle that saw 22 runs and 35 hits between the two squads. Trailing 3-0 in the bottom of the first the Buccaneers scored four runs on RBIs by Jonathan Quintana, Khalil Denson, Julian Abreu and Frank Gonzaelz. The SSC foes traded home runs in the third. Alexander DeGoti homered to right field for the Bucs. It was his team-leading 14th home run of the season, moving him into a tie for 10th place on the school's single-season list.

DeGoti finished the year on a 13-game hitting streak. He collected five hits in his final day as a Buccaneer to finish the season with a .404 batting average, which ranks fifth in Bucs single-season history.

Barry (24-25, 8-16 SSC) kept pace with the Mocs, answering every lead taken by FSC with comebacks in the first, third, fourth, fifth and eighth innings. However, in the 10th, the Mocs scored two runs on a home run and an RBI single, both to left field, to win the contest.

FSC closer Mitch McCarthy (3-0) picked up the win, working the final 2 2/3 innings, while Barry reliever Armando Gonzalez suffered the loss.

In Game 2, the hits kept coming, but it was a much closer affair. The Mocs scored three runs in the first on a two-run homer to left-center and an RBI single. Barry got one back in the fourth inning thanks to a Ryan Baldwin sacrifice grounder that scored Ramon Valdez. Baldwin carried a team-best 20-game hitting streak into the final game.

The Mocs added three more runs in the fifth and sith on a double, single and sacrifice fly. Barry scored two runs in the seventh on an Alexis Monge RBI single that brought in Denson and a DeGoti sacrifice fly that scored Abreu.

However, the Bucs couldn't add to their tally and fell in the final game of the season.

FSC starter AJ Smith improved to 1-2 this year behind a 6 1/3 innings, six-strikeout effort. Closer Brady Arenson earned his second save, working the final 2 2/3 innings, while fanning two. Barry starter Adrian Benitez took the loss, striking out four in five innings of work.

Florida Southern now stands at 30-16 and 12-9 in the conference, and continue its season next weekend against Saint Leo.

The Bucs hit 57 home runs this year, which ranks fifth in school history, and their 360 RBI is seventh all-time. The 2016 Bucs are the all-time leaders in stolen bases with 106. The team batting average of .327 ranks fourth all-time, and the slugging percentage of .502 is third all-time.

Defensively, the team's .954 fielding percentage ranks tied for ninth all-time, and on the mound the Barry pitching staff ranks sixth all-time with 364 strikeouts.
