WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.- The Palm Beach Atlantic baseball team dropped a midweek matchup with Barry University on Tuesday at J.M. 'Jake' Rubin Park, ultimately falling 10–3. Despite the outcome, the 'Fish showed some spark late in the game, scoring three runs across the sixth and seventh innings.
Ian Pennington stepped up with a key RBI during this stretch.
Barry University took advantage of Palm Beach Atlantic's five defensive errors, jumping ahead with multiple runs in the opening innings. A pivotal moment came with Anthony Tralongo's three-run double in the second inning, which put the Sailfish in a five-run hole and set the tone for the rest of the game.
