Baseball team gets shut out against Indian River State College
The Eastern Florida State College baseball team was shutout for just the second time this season Friday at Bruce Bochy Field.

Starting pitcher KC Swords allowed a run but struck out three in the top of the first inning and went on to toss six strong innings, allowing two runs. In the sixth inning, Indian River State College loaded the bases with one out, but Swords would strike out the next two batters to end the threat and his night.
Indian River State College would load the bases again in the seventh inning and it looked like they may extend the lead but Zach Taylor made a nice diving catch to keep the Pioneers lead to 2-0.
