- The
Foresters finished their first road trip of the season with a pair of
losses, 7-2 and 1-0, to Union University in Jackson, Tennessee.
In the first game of
the doubleheader, the Bulldogs scored in each of the first three
innings to take an early 5-0 lead. In the top of the fourth,
HU got two back with a little help from two Union errors and a hit
batsman, but that is where the Foresters' offense ended. Union
plated two more in the bottom of the sixth and posted the 7-2 win.
Eric Harpring led HU
at the plate with two hits. Eric Randel (0-1) took the loss
for the Foresters giving up seven runs, five earned, on 12 hits and
four walks while striking out one.
The nightcap was a
pitcher's duel. The Bulldogs took advantage of a leadoff
double by Alex Turner in their first at-bat. Danny Grimm moved
Turner to third with a sacrifice bunt and Corey Rudolph scored him
on a fielder's choice to the shortstop. The remainder of the contest
was a scoreless stalemate.
The Foresters had
their best chance to even things up in the fourth when Andrew
Drummond singled and stole second with one out. Travis Frantz
then singled to left but Drummond was thrown out at the plate.
Mitch Bowers (0-1)
went the distance in the loss for HU. He allowed one run on
three hits and a walk while striking out two. The Foresters
out-hit Union 5-3 in the game and Drummond led them with two
singles.
