Andy Baker Shatters School Record at Elizabethtown

HERSHEY, Pa. - Hood College junior Andy Baker shot a school-record 71 to lead the Blazers at the Elizabethtown Invitational at Hershey Country Club East. 

Baker, a Poolesville native, shaved three strokes off the old mark, held by both he and Michael Bushman. Baker now owns three of the four best single rounds in school history. 

The junior had three birdies on the day. One was on the par 5, 493-yard first hole. The others were on a pair of par 4 holes: the 385-yard ninth hole and the 374-yard 11th hole. 

Career-best rounds by all five Blazers helped Hood to a team score of 316, the third lowest mark in the school's records. 

Baker tied for fourth, just two strokes off the pace on the par 71, 6,482-yard course. Kyle Moir turned in an 80 to tie for 42nd. Joe Hutchins' 82 was good for a 49th place tie. Brendan Mahoney shot an 83 and finished tied for 44th. Jon Knehans tied for 68th with an 86. 

Messiah won the team title with a 292. Hood's 316 placed 11th. 

Nicholas Johnson of Marywood was the individual champion with a 69. 

Hood travels to Gettysburg on September 24.
