LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, PA – Senior Carvonte Williams and freshman Wesley Hogan (Washington, D.C./Maret) combined for six hits and six RBI as the Lincoln University baseball team dropped a non-conference game to Bloomfield, 21-11, Tuesday at the Ripken Experience's Yankee Stadium in Aberdeen, MD.
Bloomfield started the scoring early with a leadoff triple and RBI groundout in the first. They added another run in the first inning, followed by five runs in the second, six in the third, and four in the fourth.
Williams brought home a run with an RBI double in the second and Hogan had an RBI single in the third inning.
Lincoln went on a scoring bonanza in the fifth and sixth innings.
Hogan had a two-run double in the fifth, scoring junior DeAndre Bowens (Rock Hill, N.Y./Monticello) and sophomore Hilman Truss (Hamilton, N.J./Hamilton West). Hogan came around to score on a passed ball, and senior Justin McClain (New Castle Del./Del Castle Tech) crossed the plate on a sophomore Damaal Sands (Nassau, Bahamas/Montverde Academy (FL)) sacrifice fly.
A one-out single in the sixth inning by Williams brought home Truss and Bowens, and then sophomore Jefrey Azcona tacked on three more runs with a bases-loaded double to pull Lincoln to within six, 17-11.
However, Bloomfield pushed across four runs in the seventh.
Hogan was 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored, while Williams was 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI, and a run scored.
Sophomore Luis Miguel Reinoso (Beltsville, Md./High Point), 0-3, allowed 13 runs – nine earned – on nine hits in two innings of work. After not allowing a single run over 2 2/3 innings of relief, sophomore Josiah Lara (Plant City Fla./Carlos Beltran Baseball Academy) surrendered four runs in his last inning of work.
Lincoln (4-9) returns to the diamond noon Saturday with a non-conference doubleheader at Jefferson.
