Bats Stay Hot, Lead Slips Late

Biola records 13 hits behind Caruso’s two homers, but Hilo’s eighth-inning rally secures win

HILO, Hawaii --- The Biola baseball team visits the Hawaii Hilo Vulcans for game three of four on Thursday evening. The Eagles were unable to overcome an eight run eighth, losing by a final score of 12-14. 

Luke Caruso led the BU offense with second career two homer game. He collected four RBIs and drew four walks. Jonny Tewinkle and Kyle Rogers both went 3-for-5. Oscar Knapp had two hits and two RBIs, while James Whitman had a hit and two RBIs. Cole Thomson posted a hit and RBI and Kevin Villegas contributed a base hit and scored twice. 

For the third consecutive game, Biola found early offense thanks to a solo home run by Caruso. 

The Vulcans answered with two in the third and three in the fourth to take a 6-1 lead. The Eagles reciprocated by scoring nine runs across three innings. Whitman lined a two-run single to left field, Thomson drew an RBI walk, Knapp hit his own two-run single, Rogers scored via an error, and Caruso hit a three run home run over the left center field wall.

Hilo responded with another eight run inning in consecutive games, giving them a lead they wouldn't lose. Biola plated two more in the top of the ninth by way of hits from Tewinkle and Rogers.

Blake Wentz got the start and worked the first four innings, allowing six runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out three. Nathan Hernandez followed with a strong relief appearance, tossing 3.1 innings and giving up just one run on one hit with one walk and two strikeouts. Erick Felix, Dylan Alanis, and Noe Novella combined to record the final two outs. 

The Eagles move to 12-11 overall and 8-6 in conference. They will play their final game against UHH beginning at 8 p.m. PT (6 p.m. HT)
