Hawks Fall to Behrend to set up Elimination Game Tonight

JOHNSTOWN, PA – Hilbert College Baseball continued postseason action this afternoon at Sargent's Field against the AMCC's top seeded Penn State Behrend Lions.

With both teams looking to advance in the winner's bracket, the Lions used eight unanswered runs to take a come from behind victory and send the Hawks into an elimination game later tonight.

Hilbert fell behind 2-0 early, but five straight runs allowed the fourth-seeded Hawks to take a three-run lead heading into the bottom of the seventh. However, in the home half of the frame, the Lions exploded for seven runs to hold 9-5 advantage, before adding one more in the eighth to complete the 10-5 victory.

Patrick Evans blasted a solo home run, while Jack Duffek and Nolan Evans each recorded an RBI triple in the contest, while Dustin Hendrix led the Hawks with a pair of hits (both doubles).

Dylan Moorhouse (L, 5.2 IP, 7 ER, 1 K) and Brendan Walsh (2.1 IP, 1 ER, 1 K) split the mound for Hilbert.

How it Happened
  • After a scoreless first, Behrend opened the scoring in the contest with a run in the bottom of the second, before doubling the lead on a third-inning solo shot.
  • However, the Hawks had a quick response, as runs in the next three frames flipped the scoreboard. Duffek's triple scored Hendrix to get the Hawks on the board, before Patrick Evans' second home run of the year knotted the game at two all in the fifth.
  • Hilbert would take the lead on a Kyle Borrello RBI single that scored Reed Lesmeister in the fifth and extend it in the sixth with a Nolan Evans run-scoring triple followed by a Patrick Evans sacrifice fly.
  • The Hilbert lead would not hold for long, as the Lions posted seven runs in the bottom of the sixth to open up the largest lead of the afternoon, before adding one more in the eighth to double up the Hawks, 10-5.
 
Up Next:

The Hawks are back in action tonight as the team faces elimination against number three Pitt Greensburg at 7 pm on Sargent's Field. The Hawks and Bobcats split the season series earlier this spring as a 3-1 Greensburg game one victory was answered with a 13-3 Hilbert night cap win on Saturday, March 29th at Frontier High School.
