Darrin Brown Has Three Hits, Scores Four Times, As CAU Splits Two At Tuskegee

Darrin Brown had three hits, scored four times and drove in two runs Wednesday as the Clark Atlanta University Panthers baseball team split a doubleheader at Tuskegee.

The first game was a rough one for the Panthers (1-4) as CAU could only muster two hits off of Tuskegee’s Jalan Daniels. – an Eason Bing single in the third inning and a Brown hit in the fourth. Brown also walked.  Daniels struck out 12 Panthers in the 17-0 win for Tuskegee (3-5).

Tuskegee’s Ronald McGhee homered and Joshua Lewis had three hits and scored four times.

In Game Two, CAU (2-4) erupted for six first-inning runs and held off Tuskegee (3-6) for a 9-6 victory.  Brown doubled in two runs and scored on an error in the first inning, with Jakir Jackson singling in two more runs later in the inning.  Justice Page added a double to right field that scored Deandre Swift.  Brown scored again in the second, fourth (after his leadoff single), and sixth innings for the Panthers.

Tuskegee outscored CAU 5-3 from the second inning on, including two in the sixth to pull within three.  But the Panthers’ Lorenzo Peterson – who struck out eight and scattered seven hits to get the complete game win – struck out Tuskegee’s Dominic Johnson to seal the win.
