The Muhlenberg baseball team won its three-game series against Bard at Penn Medicine Park in Lancaster by capturing the second game of a doubleheader, 13-2.

Down to their last strike in the opener, the Mules (5-3) rallied to tie the opener, 4-4, before falling 6-4 in extra innings.

Muhlenberg, which set an NCAA record by drawing 25 walks in a game last year, again showed good patience at the plate, earning 14 free passes in the nightcap. Eight batters walked in the first inning alone, when the Mules plated six runs on just one hit.

Muhlenberg did a little more hitting in the fourth inning, when it scored six more runs. Junior Shreyas Sekhar and sophomore Spencer Hobson each hit two-run singles in the big frame.

Hobson (pictured above) also delivered an RBI single in the third.

For the second time in the three-game series, Mule pitchers held the Raptors (1-4) to just three singles. Senior Brendan Hughes worked the first four innings to earn his first win of the season, senior James Hopke tossed a hitless fifth, and senior Ethan Brochin closed out the game by retiring all six batters he faced, fanning four.

Senior Jack Kent did not have an official at-bat but scored 2 runs, drove in 2 and stole a pair of bases thanks to three walks and a sacrifice fly.

Kent had a big game in the opener, going 2-for-3 with a double and scoring 3 runs, but Muhlenberg trailed 4-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh. After two walks and a hit batter loaded the bases, a walk to Hughes brought in one run and a wild pitch plated the tying run.

Bard scored two unearned runs in the top of the eighth, however, to go ahead for good.
