Rogers leads hit parade as Mountain Lions storm past Tornados 19-8

FLORENCE, S.C. – Trey Rogers had five hits and drove in six runs as Young Harris College defeated King College 19-8 in a college baseball game Sunday (Feb. 12) afternoon at Cormell Field on the final day of the Auddie Brown Classic.

The Mountain Lions, who scored in every inning but the first and ninth, improved to 4-4 while the Tornados fell to 1-3. Young Harris returns to action Tuesday (Feb. 14) with a 4 p.m. contest at Southern Wesleyan University in Central, S.C.

Every starter but one for the Mountain Lions joined the hit parade. Jack Morrow collected four hits and drove in two runs while David Atwood and Adam Moore each stroked three hits. Atwood drove in three runs while Moore pushed across one. Bowen Klosinski contributed two hits and two RBI in the second victory in as many days against the Tornados.

"We got off to a slow start, but we did a great job scoring runs," said Young Harris head coach Rick Robinson. "(Tyler) Isbell did an outstanding job of shutting them down for five innings."

Young Harris took the lead for good with four runs in the top of the fourth inning. Atwood and Josh Rudnik had back-to-back RBI singles up the middle before Moore chased starter Wesley Houser (0-1) with a run-scoring triple to the gap in right-center field. Morrow gave the Mountain Lions the lead at 7-6 with a single to center.

The Mountain Lions broke the game open with a four-run seventh and a six-run eighth to take a 19-6 lead. Rogers' two-run double down the left-field line highlighted the seventh and he added a bases-clearing triple to right-center field an inning later.

Tyler Isbell (1-1) scattered six hits and struck out six in 5 1/3 innings of relief for the Mountain Lions.
