Bobcats Blank Explorers, Score Nine Runs Over Final Two Innings
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Colton Bender (Lebanon, Connecticut) homered and drove in four RBIs Sunday afternoon as the Quinnipiac baseball team routed the La Salle Explorers, 12-0, in the final game of a three-game series.
Quinnipiac's 12-0 shutout was its second shutout of 12 runs or more this season after blanking Saint Peter's 13-0 on March 23.
Bender's four RBIs are the most he's recorded in a single game in his career as he hit his first home run of the season.
Michael Kohn (Rockville, Maryland) also reached base four times with a double and drove in two RBIs and scored three runs while Evan Vulgamore (Bow, New Hampshire) and Ian Ostberg (Northampton, Massachusetts) also had two runs.
Chris Enns (Canton, Connecticut) picked up his third win of the season as he struck out six batters in five innings of work as he pitched in his first shutout of the season. The Bobcats bullpen combined for six more strikeouts as the Bobcats struck out a total of 12 batters Sunday.
The offense came alive once again, scoring nine runs in the final two innings to take a 3-0 lead to a 12-0 rout of the Explorers.
