- After dropping a pair of games on the road to Bethel College,
the Foresters hoped to even the series with two victories at Forest
Glen Park, but finished with a split winning game one 3-2 and falling
10-5 in game two.
In the opener, the two
teams traded a run in the first inning and the score remained tied
until the Pilots scored in the top of the sixth. HU drove in a run in
the bottom of the seventh to tie it, then scored the game winner in
the eighth for the final 3-2 margin.
Travis Frantz come on in relief of
starter Eric Randel in the eighth to pick up the win. In seven innings
of work, Randel allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while
striking out two. Frantz also led the Foresters at the plate
with a 2-3 performance that included a double and an RBI.
In the nightcap, the Pilots scored
nine runs over the first four innings and tacked on another one late
to spoil HU's sweep. Eric Harpring took the loss for the
Foresters. He gave up six runs on four hits, four walks and a
strikeout in 1 2/3 innings. At the plate, Andrew Drummond was
2-4 with a double and a run batted in.
The split drops HU to 21-15 overall
and 12-6 in the conference. |
