WASHINGTON, D.C. - Hood College had 10 extra base hits as the Blazers won their second straight road game, 15-1 at Gallaudet.

Josh Gall (Odenton, Md. / Arundel), Dylan Johnson (Newville, Pa. / Big Spring) and Chris Shriver (Frederick, Md. / Gov. Thomas Johnson) had two hits apiece.

Wayne Baldwin (Mount Airy, Md. / Chapelgate Christian Academy) had three hits and ran his streak of consecutive hits to six at bats before making an out in the fifth inning.

On the mound, Ryan Atkinson (Hamburg, Pa. / Hamburg) and four relievers combined to limit Gallaudet to just one run on nine hits. Atkinson got the win, pitching five innings. He allowed six hits and walked two. Chris Devine (Frederick, Md. / Urbana), Jackson Slotterback (Arnold, Md. / St. Mary's), Kole Hearn (Seaford, Del. / Sussex Tech) and Riley Fitzgerald (Eden, Vt. / Lamoille Union) each followed with a scoreless inning of relief. 

The game was tied at 1-1 after two innings, before the Blazers turned in five-straight two-run innings. Gall doubled in a run in the first, but the Bison answered in the bottom of the second with an RBI single by Kenneth Gentzke. 

In the third, Warrenfeltz led off with a triple and scored on a Gall single. Gall scored later in the inning on an error by Gallaudet. 

Warrenfeltz had a two-run double in the fourth to make it 5-1. Drake Friend (Gladwyne, Pa. / Harriton) tripled and scored in the fifth on a Shriver base hit. Esposito later doubled home Shriver for a 7-1 lead. 

An error and a sacrifice fly by Shriver gave the Blazers an eight-run lead after the sixth. Another sac fly, this one by Warrenfeltz, preceded Quinn Fulton's (Mechanicsburg, Pa. / Cumberland Valley) RBI double in the seventh, extending the lead to 11-1. 

Hood capped the game with a four-run ninth. Esposito had a one out triple and scored on a wild pitch. Zach Scheuerman (Abingdon, Md. / Patterson Mill) ripped an RBI double to score Nick Meyer (Knowlton, N.J. / North Warren Regional).
