Emory Rocked by Huntingdon, 17-4
On a day when senior Dan Molnar set the new
school record for career walks, little else went right for the
Emory University baseball team, which fell 17-4 to Huntingdon
College on Thursday.
With the Eagles trailing 1-0, Molnar picked up his record-setting
117th career walk in the third inning to pass former
Eagle Allen Rigell, who set the previous mark in 2001. The
walk loaded the bases with two outs for junior Andrew
Cohn, who promptly put Emory on top 2-1 with a two-RBI
single.
After Huntingdon took the lead with two in the fourth and one in
the fifth, Cohn would deliver again, this time with an RBI double
to score Gabe Shivers. In the sixth, the
Eagles would even the game at four runs apiece with an RBI single
from freshman catcher J.B. Smith.
However, the game fell apart for Emory in the top of the seventh
inning, as the Hawks scored 10 runs on five hits, two errors, four
walks and a hit by pitch. Six of the 10 runs scored in the
inning were unearned.
Cohn finished the day three-for four with three RBIs, and now leads
the team with 11 RBIs.
Senior Brian Cournoyer took the loss for Emory,
dropping to 2-1 on the year, while Huntingdon's Alex
Sanford improved to 3-1 with the victory.
The loss drops Emory back below .500 to 5-6 on the season, while
Huntingdon improved to 9-4 with the win. Emory will be back
in action tomorrow, hosting Denison University at 2:00 PM.
