- The Foresters won their third doubleheader of the week downing
the University of St. Francis 4-2 and 3-2 to stay perfect at 6-0 in
MCC play. The two wins move HU to 11-6 overall on the season.
The Foresters jumped out to a 3-0
lead after two innings of play in game one. St. Francis got one
back in the top of the fifth, but HU answered in the bottom of the
inning on a Korey Grow shot over the right field fence. The
Cougars got another run in the sixth, but it was as close as they
would get.
Austan Kas, Alex Rinearson and Edwin
Rodriguez each had two hits in the game to lead HU at the plate.
Eric Randel (3-1) threw five innings in the winning effort. He
gave up two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one.
Korey Grow took over on the mound in the seventh and picked up his
third save on the year.
In game two, St. Francis out-hit the
Foresters 8-4, but HU's use of the longball made up for the deficit.
With the Cougars leading 2-1 after batting in the fourth, the
Foresters got back-to-back jacks from Rinearson and Farris in their
half of the fourth to take the 3-2 lead. Again it was Grow who
took over in relief of starter Trent Huffman in the final inning to
earn his second save of the day.
Huffman allowed two runs on seven
hits and one walk in six innings of work to move to 2-0 on the season.
Farris paced HU at the plate with two hits. He had a double to
go along with his fourth-inning homerun.
