LORMAN, Miss. –  The Alcorn State University baseball program reached base seven times but failed to crack the scoreboard during a 13-0 setback against Alabama State Friday night.
The Braves (6-16, 6-14 SWAC) totaled almost as many stolen bases (5) as they did hits and walks combined (6).
Garrett Paladino registered one of the team's two hits plus a walk while motoring to second and third for a pair of steals.
Tyler Daniels contributed the other base knock and a free pass as well, tacking on a stolen base of his own in the process.
Kyle Jenkins was the only other player donning Purple and Gold to reach base multiple times, getting struck by a pitch and working a walk.
Alabama State (17-17, 9-7 SWAC) scored in all but the sixth inning while collecting 12 hits and playing a clean defensive contest.
Trenton Jamison and Chris Lewis sent balls over the fence while combining for five RBIs plus Dilan Espinal drove in a pair including a two-RBI double.
ASU starter Breon Pooler was dealing all evening long, whiffing ten Braves batters with just one hit allowed over 6.0 innings and an even 100 total pitches thrown.
Alcorn is seeing its all-time series lead gradually slip away as it now claims a 133-118-1 advantage over Alabama State.
The Baseball Braves will celebrate Senior Day at some point during tomorrow's doubleheader with first pitch of game one slated for 1 p.m. at Willie E. "Rat" McGowan Field.
