- The Foresters (0-1) opened their spring season with a 5-3 loss
to Lambuth University (6-6) at the Sport Plus Rehab Classic in Jackson,
Tennessee. Despite being the first time HC stepped on a playing
field, the Foresters hung tough with the Eagles who were playing
in their twelfth game of the season. HC got on the board first
with a run in the top of the third, but Lambuth answered back with one
in their half of the inning. The Eagles added two more in the
fifth and one in the both the seventh and eighth to take a 5-1 lead.
In the top of the ninth, freshman Austin Kas got things started for
the Foresters with a one-out single. Tim Burris singled, moving
Kas to third, and then Brian Porter singled Kas in. Burris then
scored on an Andy Janzen single, but Porter and Janzen were left
stranded as the Eagles ended HC's rally. Janzen led the
Foresters with three hits in the game and Thad Frame and Porter each
added two. Josh Clark pitched six solid innings for HC in the
loss. He gave up three runs on seven hits and two walks and
struck out two. "We played pretty well for the first time out,"
said Coach Frame. "We didn't execute a couple of times
defensively and offensively with runners in scoring position, but
overall, there were a lot more positives than negatives for our first
time on a field." |
