After a run of five
error-free games, the Foresters had three miscues and failed to
execute in critical situations in their doubleheader with Marian
College leading to a Knight sweep with scores of 5-4 and 4-0. In the
opener, HC battled back from a 3-1 deficit with three runs in the top
of the seventh, but couldn’t make their 4-3 lead stand. Marian pushed
one across in their half of the seventh, forcing the game into
overtime. The Knights kept the Foresters in check in the top of the
eighth and then with two outs in the bottom of the eighth, they scored
the game-winner. For the game, HC out-hit Marian 12-7, but didn’t put
enough of them together. Thad Frame, Austan Kas, Brian Porter, and
Levi Sell each had two hits in the game. Kas had the only extra-base
hit with a double.
In the night cap,
the Foresters could get nothing going at the plate. Although both
teams had five hits, the Knights were able to generate four runs with
their hits while HC was held scoreless. “We got beat twice because we
didn’t handle key situations in both games and Marian College did,”
said Coach Frame. “We are young and inexperienced, but it is time to
make better decisions and execute the game.”
The two losses drop
the Foresters to 9-17 on the season and 4-6 in conference play. |
