FAMU baseball drops doubleheader to NCCU
TALLAHASSEE, Florida - Florida A&M baseball coach Willie Brown almost came up with the right moves Saturday in an attempt to avoid dropping a doubleheader to North Carolina Central at Moore-Kittles Field.
Starting with a lineup shuffle to start the second game, Brown seemed to have the right personnel in the right place for the Rattlers to force an extra inning of the seven-inning game. But the Eagles mounted a six-run rally to beat FAMU 8-3 and sweep a MEAC doubleheader.
The Eagles took the first game 18-3, pounding out 18 hits. The doubleheader win was a first for NCCU against the Rattlers since the 2006 season. The loss was FAMU's sixth in a row, dropping the Rattlers to 3-5 in the MEAC and 7-22. Eagles improved to 5-6 in the league and 5-25 overall.
