2016 RussMatt Central Florida Invitational
Bradley 12, Bucknell 4
WINTER HAVEN, FL - Bradley took advantage of an erratic start by Bucknell pitcher Jeff Gottesman to score five runs in the first inning and the Braves (5-6) rode the quick start to a 12-4 win in their opening game of the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational Saturday at Chain of Lakes Park.
After Gottesman (L, 0-2) loaded the bases with one out in the first on two walks and a hit-by-pitch, C Ian Kristan started the scoring with a 2-run single. A third walk loaded the bases again and the Braves capitalized on 2B Allan Beer's sacrifice fly and DH Luke Mangieri's 2-run single for the quick, 5-0 lead.
