Bay College Baseball Team Falls Twice In Florida
This story was written by Bay College Sports Information Bay was able to get on the board first in the opener. Ben Snyder (SO, Powers, MI) doubled in two runs and then scored on a close play at home off of Jared Crow's (FR, Gladstone, MI) RBI single. The Hawks answered back getting a leadoff homerun in the bottom of the first from Rhoan Bromfield (FR, Hagerstown, MD). That score would hold until Bay starter Logan Bailey (SO, Sault Ste. Marie, MI) got himself in some trouble. Bay cut into that lead in the fifth. Tanner Halvorson (SO, Eau Claire, WI) tripled in a run, and later scored on a single from Crow. After the Hawks added a run in the fifth, the game would take a turn in the bottom of the sixth. After a pair of hits scored one run in the inning, the Norse managed to get a pair of outs and looked to get out with minimal damage. An error kept the inning going however, and the Hawks took advantage. Five hits and seven runs would after the error turned a closely played game into a blowout as the Hawks took a commanding lead. Halvorson and Crow finished two for four with two RBI. Richard Wayka also collected a pair of hits in three at bats. Bailey took the loss on the mound, going four innings and giving up 11 hits, one walk, and seven runs, while striking out eight. Jackson Bower (FR, Bark River, MI) pitched two innings in relief. He gave up nine runs, but only one of those were earned, as we gave up nine hits and one walk. In the night cap it was the Harriers that got out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Bay answered back with a two-RBI single from Snyder. Meanwhile the Miami-Hamilton hitters were too much for Bay pitching. They collected 27 hits and crossed the plate 25 times. Nine of those hits were for extra bases. Carson Shea (FR, Gladstone, MI) got the start on the mound and ended up with the loss in five innings of work. The Norse return to action on Tuesday afternoon with a doubleheader against ASA College (Miami). The first pitch is scheduled for 1:30 pm in Lake Worth, Florida. |
