MISHAWAKA, Ind. —  The Goshen College baseball team scored seven runs in the middle three innings of its series finale Wednesday at Bethel College, but the Pilots scored the last four to snap an 8-8 tie for a 12-8 Crossroads League win at Jenkins Stadium.

Clinton Stroble II and Chase Hunter each went 3 for 4 for Goshen (14-19, 6-9), with Hunter recording a double and a triple to go along with two doubles from Ben Longacre. Brad Stoltzfus also chipped in a two-run homer.

Collin Affolder and Kenny Koblentz each drove in three runs on three hits for the Pilots (11-21, 3-13), who got three hits from Affolder and two from Koblentz. Mason Love and Andrew Miranda both had two-hit days as well.

BC scored twice in the bottom of the third on a Luke Adams sacrifice fly and an Affolder double. Goshen starter Travis Grimm stranded the third runner at third, allowing his team to score four times in the fourth and take the lead on a Ryan Hartig single with a fielding error. Hunter added an insurance run with his single to left for the 4-2 lead before Koblentz's three-run homer in the bottom of the frame put the hosts up 5-4.

Colby Malson's infield single tied the score in the fifth when he plated Longacre, and Stoltzfus' two-run jack in the sixth put GC up 7-5. A three-run Pilot seventh put the hosts back in front, but after a leadoff triple from Hunter in the eighth, Longacre's sacrifice fly knotted the score at eight.

Unfortunately for the Maple Leafs, Bethel had one more move, a three-hit eighth inning that brought in two earned runs and two unearned tallies. Affolder recorded the go-ahead RBI with a one-out, two-run single before another single and a sacrifice fly.

The visitors went down in order in the top of the ninth as the Pilots averted a season sweep: Goshen had won the first two games on April 5.

Goshen will meet Indiana Wesleyan in a conference series this weekend, although not on the original schedule. The Maple Leafs and Wildcats will meet in a doubleheader at 2 p.m. Thursday after moving up the second game of the series to avoid the weekend's forecasted inclement weather. Game three is still set for 1 p.m. Saturday.
