Baseball battles RIT, daylight to secure first win

FREDERICK, Md. - Back-to-back two-run doubles in the bottom of the sixth gave Hood a come-from-behind 8-6 win in game two of a non-conference doubleheader against RIT. 

The Blazers trailed 6-4 in the sixth when Trent Copenhaver hit one into the right-center gap to knock in Brad Sawyer and Daniel Shepherd to tie the game. Nick Rampone followed and knocked in Jordan Patterson and Copenhaver for an 8-6 lead. 

The game was then called due to darkness. 

Game one
  • Hood scored on a sacrifice fly in the first before RIT erupted for eight runs in the fourth to break things open. Ian Libby and Dan Capra each had RBI triples in the inning, while Patrick Blackall's double made it 8-1 at the end of the inning. 
  • Luke McNamara had a three-run double to cap a five-run inning in the sixth that made it 13-1. Hood answered with a three-run frame in the bottom of the inning with two runs scoring on a single by Andrew Wenner. 
  • Blackall homered in the seventh but Hood's Jacob House walked and scored in the bottom half to make it 14-5. 
  • After RIT scored four in the eighth, McNamara hit a solo homer in the ninth to cap the scoring. 
  • Copenhaver had two hits for Hood, while James DeProspero walked twice. 
  • McNamara finished 4-for-6 with three runs scored, five RBIs, a double and a home run. Blackall also doubled and homered, ending the game 3-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBIs. 
  • Stevie Blanche pitched five innnigs of two-hit, one-run ball for the win. 
  • Ryan D'Allesandro took the loss, allowing five runs in 3.1 innings. Gabriel Gilger, Scott Ash, David Dinges, Jack Sullian, Joe Alexander and Kevin Nelson, Jr. all pitched in relief. 
Game two
  • Hood got on the board in the first inning via a two-run double by Jordan Patterson, who later scored on a single by Dylan Beck to make it 3-0. 
  • The Tigers cut into the lead with a run in the top of the second before Sawyer hit a sacrifice fly for a 4-1 Hood lead. 
  • RIT plated four runs in the third inning, including a two-run double by Joey Mylott, to take a 5-4 lead. A run-scoring base hit by Libby stretched the lead to 6-4 the following inning and set the stage for Hood's four-run sixth inning comeback. 
  • Jahlin Jean-Baptiste picked up the win with a perfect inning of relief in the top of the sixth. Sawyer started and allowed five runs in three innings. Des Grimes gave up one run in two innings of work. 
  • Jameson Moran cruised in his first two innings of relief before the Blazers got to him for four in the sixth. He took the loss. Capra started and gave up four runs in two innings.
