4.10.04 - The
four game series between the Foresters and the Marian College
Knights that began with a doubleheader split ended in similar
fashion with the Knights taking game one 3-2 and the Foresters
winning game two 4-2. In the first game, HC held a 2-1 lead
heading into the bottom of the seventh, but Marian rallied for two
runs to pick up the win. Tim Burris (0-1), who came on in
relief of Aaron Klopfenstein in the seventh, got the second out of
the inning, but couldn't shut the door on the Knights.
Klopfenstein had a solid outing, giving up two earned runs on four
hits and three walks while striking out two in six and a third
innings of work. Burris, Steve Orth, and Levi Sell each had
two hits in the game. In the second game, HC owned a 4-1 lead
heading into the bottom of the seventh, but again the Knights would
not go away quietly. Joel Kennedy (4-2) gave up a run and had
to get out of a bases loaded jam to earn the complete game victory
for the Foresters. HC's catcher, Greg Slee, had three hits in
the game to lead the team. "It was two good games,"
said Coach Frame. "We have a very healthy rivalry with
Marian, I think both teams respect each other very much. We
had a chance to win both games and lose both games. We did not
swing the bat as well as we have, but credit has to go to Marian's
pitching." The Foresters are now 11-13 on the season and
8-4 in the MCC. |
