Kohn Hits First Career Home Run, Scores Four Runs Against Keydets
LEXINGTON, Va. – The Quinnipiac baseball team fell in a doubleheader Sunday afternoon as the Bobcats lost Game One in seven innings, 7-3, and dropped Game Two, 14-7, at the Virginia Military Institute.
Michael Kohn (Rockville, Maryland) drilled his first career home run in the first game of the doubleheader and doubled in the second game as well as scoring four runs for the Bobcats.
The Bobcats took the game's initial lead in game one of the doubleheader but the Keydets scored five runs in the first three innings. Kohn homered in the fifth inning to pull the Bobcats back within three but the Keydets got two back with a two-run home run in the bottom half of the inning.
In the top of the seventh inning, Evan Vulgamore (Bow, New Hampshire) drove home Kohn for his second run of the game but the Bobcats could not complete the comeback.
VMI scored eight runs over the first two innings to take a big lead on Quinnipiac but the Bobcats scored five runs over the next two innings to pull back within five runs of the Keydets.
Colin Donnelly (Flemington, New Jersey) came on to pitch in the fifth inning and did not allow and earned run over the final four innings of play, striking out six Keydets and allowing just four unearned runs on two hits.
