Patriots Collect 21 hits to Down Battlers

FLORENCE, SC – Leadoff hitter Quentin Davis set the tone for Sunday's series finale as the senior center fielder collected four hits and score twice to lead Francis Marion University to an 11-4 victory over Alderson-Broaddus College, Sunday afternoon (Feb. 6) in college baseball action.

The Patriots (3-0) never trailed in the season-opening series against the Battlers (0-3).

Davis also drove in one run with a fourth-inning triple.  His performance paced a 21-hit Patriot attack that saw seven players collect multiple hits.

Third baseman Omar Quiles went three-for-five, while left fielder Danny Mattonelli was two-for-four with a pair of runs batted in.  Catcher Nick Richardson tallied a double, a triple, and one RBI.

Sophomore righty Brooks Sinquefield (1-0) was the beneficiary of the Patriot on-slaught.  He allowed only one earned run on four hits in six innings.

Alderson-Broaddus junior Wes Callow (0-1) was the losing pitcher.  No Battler collected more than one hit, although first baseman Jerred Novotny had a solo home run and a run-scoring groundout.

FMU will play host to St. Andrews Presbyterian College, Wednesday at 3 p.m.
