The Foresters continued their hot hitting and combined it with solid
pitching to shut out Concordia University (WI) 12-0 in their first
spring break game in Daytona Beach, Florida. HC dominated the
Falcon's pitching staff, pounding out 14 hits and scoring in all but
one of its six at-bats in a game shortened to seven innings by the
10-run rule. Josh Clark took the mound for the Foresters and
pitched six and a third scoreless innings before turning the game
over to Kurt Cline to finish. Clark gave up just three hits
and four walks to the Falcons and struck out eight. HC's Brian
Porter picked up three hits in the game and helped his slugging
percentage by connecting for his third and fourth homeruns on the
season, his first a solo shot and his second a two-run dinger.
Marc Roth also had three hits in the game, a single, a double, and
his first round-tripper of the season. Roth and Porter both
knocked in three to lead HC. "We had a pitching match-up
that we needed to take advantage of and we did," said Coach
Frame. "Our quality at-bat percentage for the day was
very good. Josh Clark was a little inconsistent, but still
threw the ball very well. When he threw strikes, he was
dominating." With the win, the men improve to 3-4 on the
season. |
