- The Foresters got off to a good start in conference play by
sweeping Indiana Wesleyan University 10-3 and 2-0.
In the opener, HU (8-9, 2-0) jumped
out to a 4-0 lead, but the Wildcats plated three in the bottom of the
fourth to pull within one. The Foresters answered by scoring six
more runs over the final three innings to put the game away. Andrew
Drummond and Jon Rolon both had two hits and two RBI to lead HU's
offense. Drew Taylor moved to 5-0 on the season with another
complete game victory. He gave up three runs on seven hits and
three walks while striking out one.
In the nightcap, Eric Randel pitched
a three hit shutout and struck out five to pick up his first win of
the season. Both teams were still scoreless heading into the
sixth inning when HU scored the only two runs of the game. Thad
Frame led off the inning with a single and he scored on an Alex
Rinearson double. Jason Rahn, who was pinch running for
Rinearson, advanced to third on a single from Andy Janzen and then
scored on a Korey Grow single to complete the scoring. Frame was the
lone Forester with two hits in the game.
"It is always nice to win the first two conference games on the
road," said Coach Frame. "IWU has a nice team and we were fortunate to
win both games. Drew pitched well enough in the first game and Eric
was outstanding in the second game. We still have not begun to hit
like we think we can, but we had some timely hits tonight."
