Freshman take one from Holland, game two postponed
April 22, 2009
HAMILTON, Mich. — After a slow start, the Hawkeyes held on to take a 13-5 victory from Holland Wednesday before the second half of the doubleheader was postponed due to a spectator emergency.
The freshman team improved their record to 5-0 with the win.
Hamilton was paced by hits from 10 different players. Lead off hitter Daniel George was 3-for-3 with a double, walk and two runs scored.
Colton Boerman (2-0) earned the win in relief for starter Brandon Dorn, who left the game with a shoulder injury after retiring the first three Dutch batters. Boerman surrendered only three hits in four innings while striking out four.
Despite the win, Hamilton coach Josh Hoppe said his team needs to pick up their intensity.
“Our mental approach, our discipline, all the way around need work,” he said
Game two was postponed after a spectator suffered a medical emergency following game one and was taken from the scene by ambulance. Hamilton High School principal Doug Braschler said the man was alert and responding to medical personnel.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family,” Hoppe said.
