Baseball Scores 13 Runs, Drops Series Opener to Alma

The Hope College baseball team dropped a 23-13 slugfest at Alma College on Monday in the first of a three-game series between the two teams.

The two teams will play two more weekday single games later this season.

The Flying Dutchmen grabbed a 13-9 lead with a fifth-run fifth that started with an RBI single from first baseman Aaron Pryce (Canton, Michigan / Seaholm). The next batter, sophomore left fielder Corbin Bennetts (Jenison, Michigan / Jenison) followed with an RBI single that kept the bases loaded. 

Two batters later, sophomore third baseman Colton Kinnie (Bloomfield Hills, Michigan / Birmingham Seaholm) cleared the bases with a double.

Alma (15-7, 3-1 MIAA) responded with two runs in the bottom of the fifth, three more in the sixth, six in the seventh, and three in the eighth for a run-rule shortened victory.

The Scots outhit Hope, 21-14, and capitalized on the Flying Dutchmen's eight issued walks and three fielding errors.

Bennetts and freshman shortstop Anthony Devito (Lithia, Florida / Newsome) collected three hits apiece for Hope (7-15, 1-3 MIAA).

The Flying Dutchmen's next game is Wednesday, April 1, at 4 p.m. against visiting Grace Christian University at Boeve Stadium.
