Baseball Splits Doubleheader with Clarion

 
PHILADELPHIA – The Holy Family University baseball team held on for a 2-1 win in game one of a doubleheader with Clarion held at Father Judge High School on Saturday afternoon. 
 
The Golden Eagles would score four times in the first inning of the nightcap en route to a 4-14 victory in the nightcap, despite both teams finishing with nine hits
 
Individual Highlights
  • Hayden Ford (Harrison City, Pa./Penn-Trafford (Frostburg State University)) earned his first win at HFU, allowing one earned run on two hits in 4.1 innings, while Brian Williams (Glenside, Pa./Roman Catholic (Bucks County CC)) earned his first career save as he got the final out on one pitch to strand a runner on third
  • Marc Garcia (Coatesville, Pa./Coatesville Area Senior (Keystone College)) threw 1.2 innings of scoreless relief in the victory and reached base multiple times in both games, finishing the doubleheader 3-for-5 with two walks, three stolen bases and a run
  • Christian Mote (Branchburg, N.J./Gill St. Bernard's School (Iona University)) reached in all three of his plate appearances, with two hit-by-pitches and a base on balls, in game one
  • In game two, Brian Comer (Charlotte, N.C./Independence (Bucks County CC)), Jephson Hadson-Taylor (Cheltenham, Pa./La Salle College (University of Maine)) and Stefan Leo (Golden, Colo./Golden Senior (Porterville CC)) all went 2-for-3 with an RBI
  • Alejandro Gonzalez (North Bergen, N.J./High Tech) notably threw an inning of scoreless relief in the nightcap
 
How it Happened
Game One
  • Clarion's only run came on a leadoff home run in the third, but HFU immediately countered in the bottom-half in the form of a Jalen David (Bronx, N.Y./St. Raymond) one-out double, Comer infield single and Andy Rivera's (Silver Spring, Md./Woodrow Wilson (Montgomery College)) RBI groundout
  • Ford stranded two runners in scoring position with back-to-back strikeouts to end the top of the fourth, and the game-winning run came home in the bottom-half after hit-by-pitches by Dalton Turner (Langhorne, Pa./Neshaminy (Bucks County CC)) and Mote and a Luke Shahin (Ajax, Ontario/Archbishop Denis O'Connor(Augusta University)) single
  • Hunter Kraiza (Havertown, Pa./Haverford (Cabrini University)) got the final out of the fifth, before Garcia came on for the sixth and first two outs of the seventh
