Knights Unable to Hold Down Susquehanna
FORT PIERCE, Fla. - The MLC baseball team took a 4-2 lead in the top of the third inning, but was unable to hold in a 12-5 loss to Susquehanna on March 9.
Greg Holzhueter went 2-4 with two runs in MLC's loss to Susquehanna
After falling behind 2-0 in the first inning, MLC put four runs on the board in the third inning to take a 4-2 lead. Tyler Morgan (New Ulm, Minn./MVL) scored Greg Holzhueter (Mankato, Minn./MVL) and Stephen Gurgel (Mequon, Wis./KMLHS) with a double to start the scoring, and Tyler Briney (Stevensville, Mich./MLHS) pushed the other two runs in with a two-out single to give the Knights the lead after the top of the second.
Susquehanna responded with three in the bottom of the third to take a 5-4 lead, but MLC tied the score at 5-5 in the fourth with another RBI from Morgan, scoring Holzhueter from second on a single.
