HIGHLAND - After dropping the first game of a doubleheader against Belmont on Saturday, Argyle junior Collin Argue and senior Riley Ostby delivered a big performance to earn a split in the twinbill.
Argue went 4-for-4 with eight RBI and a grand slam home run in the second inning to help the Orioles rally from a four-run deficit to tie the game at 5. Ostby also finished 4-for-4 at the plate.
"I think we can feel a lot better about our hitting after that one," Argyle coach Jeff Solberg said. "We needed to get it turned around after losing that first one. I thought we came back, had fun and started to play the way we know we can."
The first game against Belmont counted as a conference game and the second game of the doubleheader was considered non-conference. With the doubleheader split, Argyle improves to 2-4, 0-2 Six Rivers East.
Argue pitched 42⁄3 innings and struck out seven. Argyle's Mitch Flannery tossed 21⁄3 innings in relief and was the winning pitcher.
