- After taking two from Marian College on the road on Thursday,
the Foresters earned their first four-game MCC sweep of the season
by knocking off the Knights 10-1 and 6-4.
HU took command of the first game
with a five-run third. After giving one back in the top of the
fourth, the Foresters came back with two in their half of the frame
and then put the game out of reach with three more in the sixth.
Eric Randel got the complete-game
victory for HU. He allowed one run on three hits and two walks while
striking out two. Justin Branock led the Foresters with a double and
homerun in the game and Travis Frantz finished with three RBI.
In game two, both teams scored a
run in the fourth and Marian picked up two more in the top of the
fifth. The Foresters immediately responded with four in the bottom
of the fifth and added an insurance run in the sixth. The
Knights got one in their final at-bat, but the rally attempt ended
there.
Will Barone, who came on in relief
of starter Anthony Roth, earned the win. He threw an inning
and a third and allowed one hit and a walk. Frantz relieved
Barone with two-outs in the sixth and picked up the save.
Branock stayed hot at the plate
with two more hits in the game to give him a 4-6 performance on the
day. He also drove in a game-high two runs in the nightcap.
The Foresters move to 16-11 on the season and
9-3 in the MCC with the two victories. |
