Baseball beats Hobart in extras, 11-9

GENEVA, N.Y. – RIT first year third baseman Charlie Slaymaker hit two home runs as the Tigers beat Hobart, 11-9, in Geneva on Saturday.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Hobart took an early lead with a two-run home run by Ty Gallagher to move ahead 2-0.
  • After Hobart added another run in the second, RIT got on the board when two runners scored after junior center fielder John Bagley hit into a fielder's choice. The Tigers then moved ahead, 4-2, on a two-run double by sophomore right fielder Adam Marsh.
  • Hobart regained the lead in the fourth on an error and a sacrifice bunt, 5-4.
  • Slaymaker hit his first home run of the game and third of the season in the sixth, a two-run shot to jump ahead, 6-5.
  • Marsh extended the lead to 8-5 with a two-run home run in the seventh.
  • Hobart narrowed the lead to 8-7 with two runs in the bottom of the seventh.
  • The Statesmen tied the game, 8-8, with an out in the ninth on a double by Christian Petry.
  • The Tigers took the lead for good in the top of the 10th on Slaymaker's second home run of the day and fourth of the year, a three-run shot to make it 11-8.
  • Hobart threatened in the bottom half of the inning and scored one before Petry flew out to end the game, 11-9.
GAME NOTES:
  • This was the second time this month that Slaymaker had multiple home runs: he had two including a grand slam in game one of a doubleheader with St. Lawrence on April 11.
  • Slaymaker finished the day with five RBI and three runs scored.
  • Junior shortstop Randy Dodig went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a walk.
  • The second game of the doubleheader was postponed due to an inclement weather forecast and will be made up as part of a doubleheader at RIT on Sunday.
WHAT'S NEXT:
RIT hosts a doubleheader with Hobart on Sunday, beginning with the postponed game from Saturday in which the Statesmen will serve as the home team. First pitch is scheduled for noon.
