Bloodhounds' 21-Hit Attack Sends Lightning Back to .500

April 2, 2012

Box Score

BRONX, N.Y. - Bloodhounds starter Corry Harper went the distance scattering seven hits, while his teammates banged out 21 hits of their own as the visiting Bloodhounds thrashed Lehman 18-1 on Monday evening, dropping the Lightning to 7-7 on the season.

Lehman didn't help its own cause as five Lightning pitchers combined to hit seven John Jay batters. The Lightning also committed five errors in the field.

John Jay scored in all but two innings, the first and seventh, but blew the game open in the third when the Bloodhounds had eight men cross the plate. Michael Liang began the fateful inning for Lehman, allowing two runs, two hits and two walks before being lifted for Gabriel Levine- Justicia, who couldn't stop the bleeding. Before Levine-Justicia closed out the inning the Bloodhounds had added six more runs, the big blows coming on a two-run single by Owen Kimmel and a two-run double by Nestor Amarante.

With the big lead in hand, Harper was in cruise control from that point on, consistently getting ahead of the Lightning hitters.

Lehman scored its lone run of the game in top of the sixth inning on a double down the left field line by Socrates Peralta.

Sophomore Francisco Feliz saw his first action of the season, striking out four Bloodhounds in two innings of work on the mound.

The Lightning returns to action on Wednesday for a non-conference contest on the South Field versus SUNY Maritime.
