Kaden Dugle blasted a grand slam over the left field wall in the fifth inning on Tuesday night to lift Asbury baseball (7-5) over New Jersey City University (2-2) at the Lexington Legends Field.
AU had double-digit hits in the game for the fourth time this season, and was flawless on defense with no errors for the fourth time in 2024. Sophomore communications major
Jack Morris took his first win of the year for AU, going 4.2 innings out of the bullpen with no runs and four strikeouts.
"The boys got back on track today with a big win to start off our spring break. The bats got rolling in the fifth and Jack Morris was key for us on the mound in the back-half of the game! It was a solid team win and we're excited to head down to Memphis to play some more baseball together this week."
