Big fourth inning leads to Huskies win
Hamilton Heights took care of business in the fourth inning, and that led the Huskies to a 4-3 Hoosier Conference win at Northwestern on Tuesday.
Heights scored all of its runs with two outs in the fourth. Issiac Hickok got on base with a single, then moved to second when Luke Stohler drew a walk. That brought up Alex Hewitt, and his double sent Hickok home and Stohler to third.
Andrew VanOeveren came up next and hit a triple to score Stohler and Hewitt, giving the Huskies the lead. Sam Allen then singled home VanOeveren.
“Tonight was a step forward for us,” said Heights coach JR Moffatt. “We didn’t play particularly well, but well enough to win. We have told them that good teams figure out how to win on off nights and we did that tonight.”
Hewitt and Allen finished the game with two hits. Sam Fulton pitched the complete game, striking out 14. Moffatt said Fulton pitched well and moved to 4-0 for the season, noting that Northwestern “did a good job of making him work.”
“They hit the ball pretty well,” said Moffatt. “Fortunately for us they spread those hits out.”
“I’m really happy for our guys. It’s tough with the weather and not really being able to practice,” said Moffatt. “Very limited in what we’ve been able to do and they have made the most of it. We are a young team getting older by the game. I tell them, every pitch, every at bat, every inning…the rest will kind of shake itself out.”
The Huskies are 4-1 in the conference and 5-4 overall. They host Northwestern at 5:30 p.m. tonight to finish the series.
