Box Score TROY, Ala. ? Troy (24-17, 12-6 Sun Belt) banged out six hits and six runs in the first inning on its way to a 15-3 win over the UALR baseball team on Sunday afternoon at Riddle-Pace Field. Troy totaled 19 hits in the win led by outfielder Michael Precise, who went 4-for-4 at the plate with two doubles and six RBI.
The Trojans (9-27, 5-14) took a 2-0 lead in the first inning thanks to a RBI double from senior Robert Taylor, and a run-scoring double from junior Greg McCarthy. But the Trojans would manage just four hits and one run after the first inning, in a game which was called after seven frames.
