FAMU Falls in Series Opener at BCU

SANFORD, Fla. --Freshman Broedy Poppell went 1-for-5 with two RBI for the Florida A&M Rattlers in an 8-3 loss to the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats on Thursday.

Freshman Garrett Workman (5-3) started and took the loss on the mound for Florida A&M (19-16, 13-3). Freshman Brent Sims was a bright spot out of the bullpen, going one shutout inning while allowing one hit.

The Rattlers were trailing 5-0 in the seventh inning when they first put runs on the board. Poppell drove in two runs for Florida A&M with a single, that scored junior Caden Slappey and senior Jalen Niles.

The Wildcats expanded their lead to 8-2 before the Rattlers offense got back to work, cutting into that lead in the eighth.

The Rattlers were unable to get any closer, as neither team scored again in the ballgame.
