The first game of the day on Thursday was one-sided as Talladega cruised to a win.
The Tornadoes played small ball with no home runs, but it was more than enough for a dominant victory. Victor Rivera had a solid day at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a pair of runs. Jeriel Lamboy also had a multi-hit day, going 3-for-4 and notching an RBI.
Talladega came out hot in the first inning, quickly getting out to a 3-0 lead before notching two more runs in the third inning. The Tornadoes also collected runs in the fourth, fifth and seventh innings.
Talladega used pitchers Samuel Guadamuz, Jose Franco and Jordan New to combine for a shutout and allow just four hits in the game.
The win for Talladega was its first of the weekend while Wiley dropped to 1-1 with the loss.
Edward Waters University 14, Miles College 13
There was no shortage of offense as Edwards Waters snuck past Miles College in 12 innings on Thursday.
Miles College seemed to be in full control, leading 11-2 after the top of the sixth inning, but Edward Waters didn’t let the mammoth lead faze it. The Tigers chipped away at the lead with a two-run RBI before Caden Hutchinson hit a three-run home run to make it a much more manageable 11-7 in the bottom of the sixth.
Miles College added a run in the eighth to make it 12-7 heading into the final two innings, but Edward Waters delivered a six-run bottom of the eighth to take the lead. Miles College managed to get a run across in the top of the ninth to keep its hopes alive.
After both teams went scoreless through the 10th and 11th innings, Daquarius Thompkins walked it off for the Tigers on an RBI single.
