Missouri Baptist University scored early and often to take down the Foresters (1-5)
11-6.
The Spartans opened
the scoring with three runs in the bottom of the first and they scored
at least one run in each of the first six innings for a total of 11
runs. HU plated two in the top of third on a two-run homerun by Edwin Rodriguez.
In the top of the
sixth, Andrew Drummond got things started for HU with a leadoff dinger
to center, and two outs later, Vince Moore got a pinch hit single to
drive in Travis Frantz and Jarod Hammel. The three runs got the
Foresters within 10-5, but the five-run margin was as close as HU
would get. Missouri Baptist push another run across in the
bottom of the sixth and Rodriguez closed out the scoring with his
second long ball of the game in the top of the seventh.
Mitch Bowers took the
loss for the Foresters. He went four and a third innings and
allowed nine runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out two.
Rodriguez led the Foresters at the plate with two hits and three RBI.
