- The Foresters dropped a pair of games to Marian College losing
game one 1-0 and game two 4-1.
Game one was a pitcher's dual.
Marian's Jeff Brunette and HU's Drew Taylor both threw a five-hitter
with no walks, but it was the Knights that were able to get one across
pull off the win.
In the top of the third, Marian's
Chad Morris led off with a single to center. Andre Hall moved
him to second with a sacrifice bunt and then Morris advanced to third
on a passed ball by Zach Crooks. Josh Gerald then knocked him in with
a fly ball to center. It was all the offense the Knights would
need.
Taylor went the distance for HU in
the loss and falls to 6-2 on the season.
In the nightcap, Marian scored a run
in their first at-bat to grab the early lead. Two Knight errors
and a timely single from Jon Rolon allowed the Foresters to tie the
score in the third, but Marian immediately reclaimed the lead for good
with two in the top of the fourth. The Knights added one more in
the sixth to seal the win.
Josh Clark (1-2) took the loss for
HU. He gave up four runs on six hits and five walks while
striking out two in five and two-thirds innings. The Forester
offense was held to just three hits in the game.
"Marian just played better than we did," said Coach Frame.
"We just did not swing the bats at all and Marian's kids were very
good on the mound."
