The FAMU baseball team racked up 12 runs on 13 hits, including two home runs, yesterday, to defeat North Carolina A&T 12-7 and complete a four game series sweep of the Aggies at Moore-Kittles field.
 
LJ Bryant put on a remarkable performance, going 4-for-4 with one homerun, a double, five RBIs and four runs scored. Grant Rowell also showcased his homerun ability, going 1-for-3 with a three-run homer. 
 
Zach Morea (2-0) pitched his second win of the series and season, tossing 4.2 scoreless innings with two strikeouts while giving up four hits.
 
FAMU (9-16, 4-0 MEAC) blitzed the Aggies early, building a 5-0 through the first three innings of play. With FAMU up 2-0 in the third inning Rowell sent a three-run shot to left field.
 
While the Rattlers held what felt like a comfortable lead, A&T (7-17, 2-6 MEAC) roared back in the top of the fourth, sending 12 batters to plate and scoring six runs. The Aggies' half of the inning was punctuated by a three-run homer by Grant Tilley. 
 
The Rattlers surged back into the lead just one inning later, hitting four doubles and putting four runs in the board. Following a leadoff walk drawn by Octavien Moyer, Tristan Cooper laced a double to left field moving Moyer over the third base. Jared Weber followed up with a double of his own, scoring Moyer and tying the game at six. 
 
LJ Bryant followed Weber's double with a two RBI double, stretching the Rattlers lead to 8-6. Seyjuan Lawrence hit a sacrifice fly, pushing FAMU's lead to 9-6 at the end of the fifth.
 
In the eighth inning, with the Rattlers up 10-6, Bryant picked up his fifth RBI of the day smoking a 2-0 pitch to deep left field for a two-run homerun, his second long ball of the season. 
 
FAMU returns to action on Tuesday with a single game match-up against Alabama State University, at 4 p.m., at home in Tallahassee.
