Late miscues doom Bulldogs in 4-2 loss to UCF

ORLANDO – A pair of eighth-inning unearned runs was the difference as UCF earned a 4-2 victory over the Bryant baseball team on Saturday night at John Euliano Park.

With the loss, the Bulldogs fall to 1-3 on the year. Bryant has surrendered the lead in the eighth inning or later in all three losses this year.

On Saturday, Bryant fought back to tie the game at 2-2 in the seventh thanks to a UCF error. In the eighth, back-to-back two-out errors extended the inning for the Knights. A two-run double followed and gave UCF the 4-2 lead.
 
Gavin Greger and Justin Hackett each had two hits for the Bulldogs. Michael Belcher delivered four innings of two-run ball, while Mark Scamardella, Sean Zaslaw and Bradley Lewis combined for 3.1 scoreless innings of relief.
