Sanchez Homers In Sunday Defeat To Old Dominion

FIU opens road trip on Wednesday

MIAMI (April 3, 2022) – FIU baseball fell at home to the Old Dominion Monarchs by a score of 18-5 in seven innings on Sunday afternoon.
  
The Panther offensive duo of Robert Sotolongo and Jorge Ramirez each collected a pair of hits and scored once in the series finale. Sotolongo also drew two walks on the day. 

Alec Sanchez flexed his offensive muscles again on Sunday by hitting his team-leading eighth home run of the season. Sanchez's homer pushed across three runs giving the Panther centerfielder 29 RBIs on the year, which also leads the squad.

ODU jumped out to an 11-0 advantage by the time Sanchez stepped to the plate in the bottom of the sixth with Steven Ondina on second, Sotolongo on first and no one out. Sanchez turned on a 1-1 pitch and powered it over the wall in right center to make it 11-3 and give FIU life momentarily in the weekend finale.

Ramirez doubled down the left field line after a Monarch pitching change and came around to score on a Noel Perez two-out single to center to make it 11-4 in favor of the visitors.

The Monarchs answered with a seven-spot in the top seven to put the game out of reach for good before Ondina scored on a wild pitch in the home half of the frame for the 18-5 final.

Panther starter Ryan Cabarcas was tagged with the loss for allowing five runs over 4.1 innings of work.
