A-Sun: Jax Forces One More

By Bryan App - May 26, 2007

Jacksonville scored four more in the eighth, which was more than enough to outlast a Belmont two-run rally, and the Dolphins forced an A-Sun championship rematch with a 10-4 win against the Bruins. That game will begin at 4:32 p.m.

Lead-off man Chuck Opachich started the Dolphins eighth with a single. After a sac bunt and an intentional walk of Pete Clifford, Ryan McArdle plated Opachich with a single. Thomas LePage and Donnie Vickers then did the same, capping a string of three straight RBI singles for Jacksonville.

Belmont's Matt Reynolds singled to lead off the top of the ninth with an infield single. Wilson Tucker hit a one-out single, and Derek Wiley plated both runners with a two-out double, his second double of the game.

The loss was for the first for Belmont ace Charles Lee (6-1) in conference this season.
