Bucs Split With Harding, Losing 11-2 Before Winning 9-8

Game One Box Score | Game Two Box Score

Memphis, TN –
The Christian Brothers University Buccaneer baseball team used a bases-loaded suicide squeeze in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat Harding, 9-8 in game two, splitting with the Bison after losing game one, 11-2.

CBU (14-24, 1-16 GSC) got a solid start from freshman Billy Rasch in game one, going five innings, not allowing a run until the fifth inning.

HU (15-22, 3-11 GSC) hit three home runs over a four-inning span to take game one. They hit seven all together in the double-header.

The Bucs went on top first in game two, scoring twice in the first inning. Michael St. Cin singled up the middle and John Raymond Hehn walked behind him. Both runners moved up on a ground out and Wes Hoover doubled home the two runs.

Harding scored four runs over the second, third and fourth innings, but a sacrifice fly from Hehn and a three-run home run from Brian DeJean gave the Bucs a 6-5 lead. Harding scored twice in the fifth before a single from St. Cin scored Ryne Dahlke to tie the game again. A home run from Harding in the sixth gave the Bison a quick one-run lead before Blake Christian tied the game with a blast of his own in the bottom of the sixth.

John Daush held Harding scoreless in the top of the seventh, and Mark Foster singled to start the bottom half of the inning. St. Cin moved Foster up to second with a sacrifice Bunt, and Foster advanced to third when a pickoff attempt went into centerfield. Harding intentionally walked both Hehn and DeJean setting up Shane Hogan. Hogan bunted down the first base line and Foster scored the winning run as the first baseman couldn't come up with the play.

St. Cin went 6-8 on the day, with three RBIs and two runs scored including a home run in game one. Dahlke went 3-8 with two runs scored in the double-header. Foster scored twice. Daush got his second win of the season, pitching two innings of relief, allowing just one hit and striking out one.

Both teams will be back at it tomorrow, April 10 in a single-game at 1 p.m.
