• Jake Howell picked up the win in the opener, pitching four innings of two-run baseball. He struck out five and walked just two to go with four hits allowed.

At the Plate

• Hood stole a total of 18 bases between the two contests. Daniel Shepherd stole four, including three in the second game. Brad Sawyer swiped three total bases, taking a pair of bases in the first game. 
• Trent Copenhaver and Dylan Beck had two hits apiece in the first game. Shepherd had two hits in the second game.  

Hood 14, CCNY 2

• Hood drew eight walks and had three batters hit by pitches, to go along with five errors by CCNY. The Blazers also took advantage of nine stolen bases and four sacrifice flies. 
• In the first, Shepherd reached on an error and Sawyer was hit by a pitch before two executed a double-steal. The two scored on a two-run single by Copenhaver. 
• The Blazers added four more the following inning, including sac flies by Andrew Wenner and Shepherd before an RBI triple by Sawyer. After Jordan Patterson walked, Sawyer scored on a double-steal for a 6-0 lead.
• James DeProspero walked to lead off the third, then stole second and third. The next three batters all walked, bring DeProspero home on a bases loaded walk by Shepherd.

Hood 4, CCNY 0

• The Blazers scored once in the first and three times in the second and the pitching staff did the rest to pick up the sweep. 
• Rampone led off the bottom of the first with an infield single and advanced to second on a wild throw. He later scored on a wild pitch. 
• In the second, Beck drove in Kroeger with a sacrifice fly and Shepherd added a two-run double for a 4-0 lead. 
• After D'Allesandro allowed Ethan Angress to lead off the third with a single, Hood would not allow another baserunner. Angress was erased on an unusual play later in the inning. When Jaquez struck out as Angress attempted to steal, Jaquez thought the ball got away and raced to first. Angress successfully stole second but misinterpreted the ruling when Jaquez was called out immediately and began to head back to first. Hood then caught him in a rundown. 
• Shepherd had two hits and three RBIs. 

Notes

• Hood improved to 4-2 after the sweep. 
• CCNY dropped to 1-5.
