Baseball Overcome by Chestnut Hill in Extra Innings of Game One

PHILADELPHIA – The HFU baseball team led 12-7 entering the ninth inning, only to suffer a 12-18 defeat in 12 innings in the first game of a doubleheader against Chestnut Hill hosted at Father Judge High School on Saturday. 
 
The Tigers would then bring the tying run to the plate in the last inning of a 2-4 loss in the nightcap.  
 
Individual Highlights
  • Christian Mote (Branchburg, N.J./Gill St. Bernard's School (Iona University)) reached base three times in both games, finishing the doubleheader 4-for-7 with two walks, three runs and two RBI
  • Jephson Hadson-Taylor (Cheltenham, Pa./La Salle College (University of Maine)) recorded his first career four-hit game at HFU in the opener, going 4-for-6 with a walk, three runs and two RBI
  • Torin McKenzie (Hamilton, N.J./Nottingham (Mercer County CC)) drove in six in game one, highlightedby hitting his first collegiate home run as part of a 2-for-4 performance
  • Marc Garcia (Coatesville, Pa./Coatesville Area Senior (Keystone College)) joined Mote in reaching three times and scoring two runs in the opener
  • Game two starter Casey Murphy (Merion Station, Pa./Lower Merion (Ursinus College)) produced a quality start, surrendering three earned runs on six hits in a complete game effort
 
How it Happened
Game One
  • Holy Family overcame a five-run CHC first, coming all the way back to go ahead 7-6 on a Hadson-Taylor single in the sixth
  • Both teams plated one in the seventh, before the Tigers appeared to take control with a four-run eighth that was highlighted by McKenzie's three-run homer
  • Down to their last out, the Griffins tied it up at 12 on a three-run home run of their own
  • Holy Family had two runners reach in the bottom-half to no avail, before Hunter Kraiza (Havertown, Pa./Haverford (Cabrini University)) was able to strand the bases loaded in the 10th 
  • The Tigers could never threaten in extra innings though, and all six runs to come home in the 12th were unearned
Game Two
  • HFU erased CHC's first inning run with hits by Dalton Turner (Langhorne, Pa./Neshaminy (Bucks County CC)) (single), Stefan Leo (Golden, Colo./Golden Senior (Porterville CC)) (double) and Mote (single) in the second, which finished on an inning-ending double play
  • Murphy left runners in scoring position in both the fourth and fifth, but the Griffins broke through back-to-back two-out hits in the sixth leading to three runs, one of which was unearned
  • The Tigers brought the tying run to the plate thanks to a Mote single and error, but Chestnut Hill ended the threat to secure the sweep
