Grambling State rallies late, falls 12-11 to Dartmouth

BATON ROUGE, La. |  Grambling State mounted a furious late comeback but came up just short in a 12-11 loss to Dartmouth on Saturday night at Alex Box Stadium.

Grambling State dropped to 3-8 on the season, while Dartmouth improved to 3-3.

The Tigers erased multiple deficits and scored 10 runs over the final five innings, but Dartmouth's three-run eighth inning proved to be the difference in a game that featured 23 total runs, 21 hits and five errors.

Dartmouth struck first in the opening inning, capitalizing on a Grambling State throwing error to take a 1-0 lead. The Big Green extended the margin to 4-0 with three runs in the third, highlighted by Henry Murray's RBI single and a bases-loaded walk.

After Grambling State got on the board in the fourth on Chris Marcellus' RBI double to right-center, Dartmouth answered with a five-run fourth inning. Taer Rodriguez delivered a two-run single, and Murray added a two-run base hit as the Big Green built a 9-1 advantage.

The Tigers responded in the fifth, using patience at the plate to spark a rally. Aidan Lopez singled home a run, Shannon Martin added a sacrifice fly and Hasani Johnson reached on a hit that led to an unearned run, trimming the deficit to 9-4.

Grambling State continued to chip away in the sixth when Trey Bridges' single and a balk brought home James Woody to make it 9-5.

The Tigers pulled within a run in the seventh. After Johnson walked and Marcellus singled, Dillon Braxton reached on a throwing error that allowed two runs to score. Martavius Thomas followed with a sacrifice fly, cutting Dartmouth's lead to 9-8.

Dartmouth created separation again in the eighth. A walk and a pair of singles set the table before Nico Banez delivered a two-run single to left field, pushing the Big Green's lead to 12-8.

Grambling State made one final push in the ninth. Cameron Hill singled home a run, and Martin reached on a throwing error that allowed two more runs to score, pulling the Tigers within 12-11. The tying run advanced into scoring position, but Dartmouth reliever Trey Sejnoha induced a game-ending strikeout to secure his first save.

Hill finished 2 for 4 with two RBIs and two runs scored, while Bridges went 2 for 5 with a double. Marcellus added two hits, including a double, and drove in a run. Lopez reached base four times with a hit and three walks.

Keyon Guillory (0-1) took the loss after allowing four runs, three earned, over three innings. The Tigers' bullpen combined for seven strikeouts over the final six innings, but Dartmouth's 10 walks and timely hitting proved decisive.

Rodriguez led Dartmouth with three RBIs, while Murray added three RBIs and Banez drove in two.
