Hornets Fall Short Against William Penn

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – The Harris-Stowe State University baseball team was back in action this afternoon when they played host to the William Penn (Iowa) University Statesmen in a nonconference matchup. The Hornets were defeated by the Statesmen by a final score of 14-4 to fall to 0-2 on the season. With the win, the Statesmen improve to 2-1 on the year.

The Hornets got off to a slow start in this one as the Statesmen rallied for six runs in the top of the second inning to jump out to an early 6-0 lead. The Hornets battled back and were able to score two runs in the bottom of the frame, but another six run rally from the Statesmen in the top of the fourth put them up 12-2 in the game. The Hornets once again responded with a run in the bottom of the fourth and a run in the bottom of the fifth to cut the Statesmen lead to 12-4 heading into the sixth. However, William Penn was able to score two more runs in the top of the sixth and close out the Hornets in the final two innings to solidify the win.

Cam Fuller (0-0), Brian Myers (0-0), and Tomas Pinet Jr. pitched in relief as the three combined to allow 10 hits and eight earned runs while striking out four batters in the final 5.0 innings of the game.
