ROCK HILL, S.C. - The St. John's baseball team (8-12) fell to Winthrop (13-10), 15-1, on Friday night at The Winthrop Ballpark in Rock Hill, S.C.
Jace Jeremiah led the Red Storm with two hits, while Adam Agresti walked twice against the Eagles. Luke Orbon picked up an RBI and Will Cowan scored a run in South Carolina.
Jackson Tucker extended his on-base and hitting streak to 15 games on Friday night. The outfielder also stole his 14th base of the season in the contest.
Winthrop's leadoff hitter Gabe Natividad started the bottom of the first inning by walking, advancing to third on a pair of wild pitches and scoring on an RBI single, giving the home team an initial 1-0. After the Eagles loaded the bases, they scored another run on a wild pitch before clearing them with a two-run single and taking a 4-0 advantage.
The Eagles added another tally in the home half of the second frame. Chazz Grossington hit a double into right field, moved over to third on a wild pitch and came home on a sacrifice fly, increasing Winthrop's lead to 5-0.
The Red Storm earned a pair of runners in the top of the third as Jeremiah and Cristian Bernardini smacked back-to-back base hits, putting Johnnies on first and second base. Winthrop got out of the no-out jam with three consecutive fly-outs to retire the frame.
St. John's put itself on the board in the fourth. Following Cowan singling into right-center and Agresti walking, Orbon smashed an RBI one-bagger into right-center field that plated Cowan and cut the Red Storm's deficit down to four, 5-1.
In the bottom of the sixth, Winthrop took advantage of a bases-loaded situation, bringing in a pair of tallies off a single and a walk to grow the home advantage to six, 7-1. AJ Lausten came on in relief, stopping the bleeding with a fielder's choice and a flyout.
In the top side of the seventh stanza, the Johnnies earned a pair of runners after Jeremiah whacked a base knock into center field and Tucker reached on an Eagles miscue. Winthrop was able to flip the frame, keeping the Red Storm off the board after finding two straight outs.
The Eagles tacked on eight insurance runs between the seventh and eighth innings off a combination of four RBI singles, a two-run double, a fielder's choice and an error, pushing its lead to 15-1.
Winthrop cruised through the top of the ninth, earning a win in the first game of the weekend set.
The Red Storm will continue its series with the Eagles tomorrow afternoon at The Winthrop Ballpark. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. in Rock Hill, S.C.
