Baseball Records Program Record 19 Hits in Game One; HFU Walks-Off Nightcap for Series Win Over D’Youville

UPPER CHICHESTER, Pa. – The HFU baseball team had a program record 19 hits in a 17-11 game one, before Torin McKenzie's (Hamilton, N.J./Nottingham (Mercer County CC)) walk-off single in the nightcap gave the Tigers a 3-1 series win over D'Youville at Maplezone Sports Institute on Friday. 
 
 
Trailing 2-4 after a Saints run in the top of the sixth, the Tigers took advantage of an error to tie the game a Luke Shahin (Ajax, Ontario/Archbishop Denis O'Connor(Augusta University)) two-out single. 
 
Starter Casey Murphy (Merion Station, Pa./Lower Merion (Ursinus College)) then completed his seventh inning with a 1-2-3 top-half and after a Jephson Hadson-Taylor (Cheltenham, Pa./La Salle College (University of Maine)) leadoff walk, Marc Garcia (Coatesville, Pa./Coatesville Area Senior (Keystone College)) sacrificed him to second to set the stage for McKenzie.
