3.23.04 - The
Foresters remained undefeated in conference play with their
doubleheader sweep of the Goshen College Maple Leafs winning 10-3
and 6-3. In the opening game, HC exploded for nine runs in
their final at-bat to get the come-from behind win. The
Foresters had seven of their 18 hits, including two doubles and a
homerun by Tim Burris, in the inning. Four Foresters, Joel
Kennedy, Greg Slee, Brian Porter, and Marc Roth, each had three hits
in the game. Josh Clark (2-1) picked up the win in relief of
Aaron Klopfenstein. In the nightcap, HC used the long ball to
out-distance Goshen. Kennedy (2-2), who got the complete game
win for the Foresters, helped himself with a two-run round-tripper
in the second, Slee added a solo shot in the third, and Porter went
deep in the fifth. Roth completed the Foresters' scoring in
the sixth with a two-run double. Kennedy gave up three runs on
11 hits while striking out five. "This is the first day
that our pitching was more of a story than our hitting," said
Coach Frame. "Even though we had 27 hits in the
doubleheader, our pitching and defense were very good. We got
some bog hits when we needed them, but we were not sharp at the
plate." The sweep gives HC a 6-8 record overall and 4-0
record in the MCC. |
