Covenant Falls In Rubber Match to Huntingdon

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Scots and Hawks battled on Monday to determine who would take the series win to begin conference play. A pair of big swings for Huntingdon helped it get the win on its home field. 

Final: Covenant 6, Huntingdon 10
Records: Covenant (8-13, 1-2 CCS), Huntingdon (11-8, 2-1 CCS)

HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • The Hawks took a 1-0 lead as Matthew Robinson led off the second inning with a home run. 
  • Later in the frame, Huntingdon added another run on a RBI single to left field. 
  • Sam Cecil tied the game in the fourth inning with a 2-run home run, his second of the season.
  • As the inning continued on, Harrison Adelgren delivered a RBI single and Jonathan Ponder scored on a passed ball to put Covenant ahead 4-2. 
  • In the bottom of the frame, Huntingdon went back ahead on a grand slam from Jabez Sampson.
  • A RBI double later in the inning put the score at 7-4 in Huntingdon's favor. 
  • Adelgren delivered another key hit for the Scots in the sixth inning, this one a 2-RBI double to right-center field to make it 7-6.
  • A bases-loaded walk immediately followed by a RBI sac bunt put the Hawks back up three runs in the sixth inning. 
  • Huntingdon added an insurance run in the eighth inning via an infield error with two outs.
  • The Scots got their first two runners on base in the ninth, but a double play ended any thoughts of a late rally.
