The Florida Tech baseball team brought their bats to Georgia Saturday, scoring eight runs in the last three innings, en route to a convincing 13-1 win over Spring Hill College.

John Sternagel, Ryan Sinzenich and James Gronberg each had three hits in the Panthers victory. Grant McKown and Nick Capra added two apiece. The 20th ranked Panthers improved their record to 7-2 on the season.

Ty Cohen pitched seven innings for the Panthers, picking up his second win of the season. He threw 98 pitches, allowing three hits and one run. He walked four and struck out nine.
Badgers starter Dylan Kiene had little success against Florida Tech. He gave up seven runs in his seven innings of work for Spring Hill, allowing 13 hits.

Sternagel’s single got things started in the top of the first. He stole second and scored on McKown’s double. One batter later, Sinzenich singled to move the runners up and Capra brought McKown home with a base hit. Gronberg singled home Sinzenich to cap the scoring.

Michael Druhan was 2-for-4 on the day for Spring Hill and he was the only offense for the Badgers, taking Cohen deep in the bottom of the first.

The Panthers added a run in the second on a Reid Neal single and got one in the fourth on a Vincenzo Catanza RBI single, making it 5-1. They would then go quiet until the seventh, when Sinzenich belted a two-run homer to up the lead to 7-1.

The Panthers kicked it into high gear in the eighth, scoring five more runs, highlighted by a Daniel Szpik two-run triple. The Panthers final run came in the ninth, thanks to an error.

Sam Daniel (0) led the Panthers with 22 points in Monday's 110-84 victory After opening the season with two losses in the South Regional Tipoff Classic over the weekend, the Florida Tech Men’s Basketball team took their frustrations out on Puerto Rico-Mayaguez on Monday, with a 110-84 home victory. “It always feels good to home to the friendly confines of the Clemente Center,” said FIT head coach Billy Mims. “I knew when we got back here we’d shoot the ball better and we knocked down 14 threes’ and that’s the way we’re supposed to shoot the basketball.” Florida Tech (1-2) allowed five double-digit scorers in both losses in Atlanta. On Monday, they only allowed three and they had five of their own, led by Sam Daniel , who finished with 22, despite having only four in the first half. “The first half they had a box-and-one one me, pretty much had a player chasing me wherever I went,” Sam said. “It was an excellent job by my teammates stepping up to score the ball an...

For the first 20 minutes, they looked up for it, as they led the Tars 38-32 at the half. Unfortunately for the Panthers, the home team put the pedal to the medal in the second half, scoring 59 points and winning 91-82 in a Sunshine State Conference game. It was the second straight devastating loss in the conference for the Panthers, who dropped a very controversial home game to Saint Leo on Wednesday. “We must be the best first half team in America,” said Florida Tech head coach Billy Mims, in his post-game interview with Jim Mitchell. “But we can’t play 40 minutes of consistency to save or lives.” The Panthers (11-8, 4-6 SSC) were up 12 against Saint Leo and up six at Rollins at the half, but lost both games. Florida Tech got off to a good start Saturday, with Jordan Majors hitting two quick threes. Things sagged...

Jordan Majors - James Ragan Photograaphy The Florida Tech Panthers took all the Palm Beach Atlantic Sailfish could dish out on Saturday, withstanding a late charge by the home team, to earn a 76-73 Sunshine State Conference victory. “I was really, really pleased with how we never quit,” said Florida Tech coach Billy Mims, in his post-game interview with Jim Mitchell. “Guys could’ve given up, one more mistake could’ve killed us.” Florida Tech (11-6, 4-4 SSC) was led by Jordan Majors 22 points and got 18 from Sam Daniel , who also had 14 rebounds. In the end, this game came down to free-throws, with the Sailfish missing three of their final four free-throws down the stretch and going 8-for-19 overall. On the flip side, the Panthers were 7-for-7 for the game, hitting just two from the charity stripe in the second half. The Sailfish (7-9, 3-6 SSC) led 5-3 with 18:29 left in the first half and never led again. The Panthers got off to a fast start, with Majors, Pat Anderso...
