Blazers Mount Two Comebacks to Sweep Alvernia

Frederick, Md. (March 26, 2022) - Hood College (4-8) completed two come-from-behind wins to take the MAC Commonwealths sweep over Alvernia University (9-8-1) on Saturday afternoon at Hood College. 

The Golden Wolves led Hood 8-4 after five innings in game one, but the Blazers scored five unanswered - including three on back-to-back homers - to take the 9-8 win over Alvernia. In game two, Alvernia led 4-1 after three innings, but the Blazers then scored 11 unanswered to turn the game for a 12-4 win over Alvernia in five innings.

In game one of the afternoon, Sarah Reinert led the game off with a single to left field and then Tara Tumasz got the scoring started with a two run homer to left field for Alvernia's early 2-0 lead. 

The Blazers got one back in the bottom of the first on a sacrifice fly, but Alvernia responded with a three-run top of the second. Reinert drove in two of those three runs on a single to center to bring in Kerstin Koenig and Julie Burkhardt. Hope Robinson then scored Alvernia's third of the inning on an error by the Blazers during a dropped third strike during Brooke Weister's at-bat to bring Alvernia's lead to 5-1.

After Hood scored two runs on three hits in the bottom of the fourth, Alvernia put up another three-run inning in the top of the fifth. Robinson drove in the first of the inning, scoring Sara Campbell on a sacrifice fly. A single by Reinert to center field then drove in the final two runs of the inning with Payton Lascala and Burkhardt scoring to give Alvernia the 8-4 advantage.

The Blazers got two back on a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth to get within two, 8-6.

Hood then walked things off in the bottom of the seventh with back-to-back home runs, including a two run shot, to take the 9-8 win over Alvernia. 

Reinert led Alvernia in game one with three hits and four RBIs. 

Emma Kropkowski struck out four in the start.

In game two of the afternoon, Alvernia jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the second with Jaclyn Barbera scoring during Emily Sano's at-bat, and Reinert driving in two runs on a triple to center field.

The Blazers got one back on a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the second, but Alvernia responded in the top of the third with Kerstin Koenig doubling to the left gap to bring in Burkhardt and put Alvernia up 4-1.

Hood's offense then exploded in the sixth, with the Blazers putting up six runs on four hits and two Alvernia errors to jump out to a 7-4 lead. 

The Blazers allowed just one base runner in the top of the seventh before adding five runs to its lead in the bottom of the fifth to end the game with a 12-4 win over Alvernia.

Koenig finished game two with a team-high two hits, and Reinert finished with a team-high two RBIs. 

Alvernia returns to action on Wednesday for its home opener against Immaculata.
