- Tim Burris and Levi Sell both pitched complete games to help
lead the Foresters to the doubleheader sweep of the University of St.
Francis, winning 5-3 and 4-2.
In the first game, Burris (3-3), who
went the distance for the first time this season, gave up three runs,
two earned, on five hits and one walk while striking out four.
HC did all of its scoring in the first two innings with one in the
first and four in the second. The Cougars got one each of their
first two at-bats and then added one in the fourth before Burris put
the clamps on them. Andy Janzen led the Foresters with two hits
in the game and Burris helped himself with two RBI.
In game two, Sell (4-0) gave up both
runs in the first and then settled down. He dominated the
Cougars the rest of the way, allowing a total of four hits and one
walk in the game. He also struck out five on his way to earning
his second complete game of the season and keeping his undefeated
record in tact. St. Francis held a 2-1 lead after an inning of
play, but the Foresters got three runs in the fourth to put the game
out of reach. Brian Porter had two hits in the game for HC
including a solo homerun in the first and a single to get things
started in the fourth.
The two wins keep the Foresters in
the hunt for a berth in the MCC tournament. They now stand 17-19
on the season and 12-8 in conference play. |
