Pioneers outlast Statesmen

GENEVA, N.Y.—Hobart junior Christian Petry notched his team-leading third three-hit game of the season and junior Jackson Fowle launched a grand slam for his first collegiate home run, but the Statesmen suffered a 15-12 loss in non-conference baseball at McDonough Park tonight.
 
Petry was 3-for-4 with a RBI and two runs scored. Fowle's big blast was the first grand slam by a Statesman since April 5, 2023. Junior Evan Munuz and sophomore Connor O'Neil were both 2-for-3 with a double. Munuz also drove in two runs.
 
The top of the Alfred State order did most of the damage for the visitors. Connor Kiefer, Elijah Barinas and Frank Grad were a combined 8-for-15 with four RBIs and six runs.
 
THE DECISION  
FOR THE RECORD
  • Alfred improved to 19-12.
  • Hobart slipped to 16-13.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Trailing 2-0 after half an inning, Hobart promptly loaded the bases in the bottom half of the inning on back-to-back hit-by-pitches and a walk to bring Fowle to the plate. He was 1-for-8 in limited action this season, but drove a 2-2 pitch over the right field wall for a 4-2 lead.
  • Hobart added a fifth run later in the inning when senior Owen Sanders' ground out scored O'Neil.
  • Alfred State took the lead for good with a seven-run third inning. The Pioneers only had three hits in the inning but took advantage of three walks, two wild pitches, a passed ball and a hit-by-pitch to build a 9-5 lead.
  • The Statesmen trailed by at least three the rest of the night.
  • Junior Drew Bolduc led off the bottom of the ninth with a pinch hit double to right center.
  • Petry delivered a two-out single to score Bolduc and get Hobart within three.
  • Sophomore Sean Garvin ripped a liner that looked headed to right, but second baseman Caleb Walker made a diving catch to end the game.
 
STREAKING
  • O'Neil extended his hitting streak to 10 games and reached base safely in his 11th consecutive game.
 
WEEKEND SERIES
  • Hobart will return to Liberty League play with a three-game series against Ithaca this weekend. The Statesmen will visit the Bombers on Friday at 4 p.m. then host Ithaca for a doubleheader on Saturday starting at noon.
