Grambling State Falls to Southern, 13-3, in Andre Dawson Classic Opener

VERO BEACH, Fla. |  Grambling State dropped its Andre Dawson Classic matchup to Southern University, 13-3, Friday afternoon at Holman Stadium. 

The Tigers struck first in the bottom of the opening inning. After Cameron Hill was hit by a pitch and advanced to third on a groundout, he scored on a wild pitch to give Grambling State a 1-0 lead. 

Southern answered in the third inning when Jacoby Radcliffe doubled and later scored on a sacrifice fly by KJ White, Jr., tying the game at 1-1. GSU reclaimed the lead in the fourth inning as Charles Ashe III singled to right field to drive in Hasani Johnson, making it 2-1. 

The Jaguars pulled ahead in the fifth inning, capitalizing on a double by Beny Bikar Jr. and an error to take a 3-2 lead. The game turned in the sixth inning, when Southern plated seven runs on just two hits, aided by multiple walks, hit batters, and defensive miscues to extend the advantage to 10-2.

Grambling State added a run in the bottom of the sixth as Julio VasQuez homered to left field for his first long ball of the season, but Southern continued to add on, scoring three more runs in the seventh inning to push the lead to 13-3.

VasQuez led the Tigers at the plate, finishing 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI. Cameron Hill and James Woody each collected a hit, while Charles Ashe III drove in a run with a single.

On the mound, starter Keevyn Goss worked five innings, allowing three runs (two earned) with four strikeouts. Grambling used three relievers in the game, but the bullpen struggled to contain Southern's offense during the middle innings.
