4.6.04 - Although
the Anderson University Ravens scored in every inning but the last,
the Foresters used key hits in a few big innings to pick up the
13-10 win. Down 2-0 after two innings, HC combined two singles
by Greg Slee and Brian Porter with two walks, two passed balls and a
hit batsman to take a 4-2 lead in the top of the third, but the
Ravens answered with two in their half of the inning to knot the
score at 4-4. With two outs in the top of the fourth, Tim
Burris and Slee got back to back singles and Marc Roth sent one deep
to help the Foresters re-gain the lead. Anderson got one back
in the bottom of the fourth and added three more their half of the
fifth to take the lead back at 8-7. HC responded immediately
in the top of the sixth beginning with lead off hitter, Jeremy
Rodibaugh, getting hit by a pitch. The Foresters then strung
together five consecutive hits, including a RBI double by Slee, a
two-run double by Roth, and a RBI single by Steve Orth, before the
Ravens could get an out in the inning. A Ryan Finn sacrifice
fly and another single by Levi Sell completed the scoring and gave
HC a 13-8 lead. The Ravens rallied for two more in the bottom
of the sixth, but Burris took the mound in the bottom of the seventh
for HC and shut down the Ravens to pick up his first save of the
season. Slee finished the game with a team-high four hits and
Roth had a team-leading five RBI. Aaron Klopfenstein (2-3) got
the win for the Foresters, going five innings and giving up eight
runs, five earned, on seven hits and two walks while striking out
two. The win raises the Foresters to 9-11 on the season. |
