GOSHEN, Ind. — Cody McCoy went 3 for 5 and Ryan Hartig scored three times while Colby Malson set the single-season saves record as the Goshen College baseball team topped Grace College 8-6 on Wednesday in a Crossroads League doubleheader at Sarge Yoder Field.

CThe Maple Leafs (18-21, 9-11) also waited out a 13-minute rain delay and completed a season sweep of the Lancers with a 6-5 victory in the day's second game, finishing a non-conference game that began on Feb. 18 in Westfield, Indiana.

Hartig scored the first run in the conference game, stealing second after he was hit by a pitch to get into scoring position for a Clinton Stroble II single with two strikes and two outs.

Austin Baker connected for a two-run double with two down in the top of the third to put the Lancers (5-26, 5-11) in front 2-1, but Goshen would reply to that in its next time of asking.

Brad Stoltzfus and Ben Longacre singled on back-to-back pitches as the Maple Leafs loaded the bases with no outs. Three batters later, Cody McCoy singled up the middle as Longacre scored and Hartig raced home on a throwing error for a 3-2 lead. Kody McGuire hit the next pitch into left to double the lead as Malson scored from second.

Stoltzfus also tacked on an insurance run in the fourth inning on Hartig's one-out hit to left.

Grace came back to take its last lead of the day with a four-run sixth that started with six straight batters reaching base. Goshen starter Camm Nickell benefitted from a batted ball glancing off a runner, picking up the first out by rule, before reliever Kyle Kotecki retired two men to get out of the inning with the hosts down 6-5.

Again, the Lancer lead didn't make it out of the bottom of the inning. McGuire and Anthony Todaro reached on walks before Nolan Holcomb singled to tie the score.

Kotecki retired the Lancers in order in the sixth inning before Hartig and Stroble started the bottom of the frame with doubles to put Goshen ahead for good. Malson sacrificed Stroble to third for McCoy to single him in to set the final score at 8-6.

Gabe Douglass started the Grace seventh with a walk, but the last nine Lancers went down in order: Kotecki finished the seventh and Malson struck out five of the six men he faced.

Malson recorded his eighth save of the season, throwing five balls and 21 strikes in two innings and surpassing Spenser Triplett's mark of seven from 2017. The sophomore now leads all Maple Leafs with 12 saves in his career; in addition, he has more saves this season than any previous Maple Leaf has had in a career.

Baker drove in four of Grace's six runs with a pair of doubles while Ethan Brooks singled twice and scored as many times. Stoltzfus, Hartig, Stroble and McGuire each had two singles for GC. Kotecki took the win after conceding a single hit and a single walk over 2 2/3 innings.

Thirty-two minutes after the conference game was completed, the teams returned to the field for the fourth inning of the suspended game. Goshen held a 3-0 lead by virtue of a three-run first inning two months ago.

The completion of the game required a handful of changes; Goshen made three changes and Grace four, including a pair of fresh arms since both starters had also thrown in Wednesday's lid-lifter. In a twist few could have predicted, the temperature when the game was called in February (41 degrees with a wind chill of 35) was the same when it resumed in April.

Fifty-eight days and not quite 17 hours after play was halted, the Lancers posted hits in three of their first four at bats. Cameron Maxwell singled to center and Jaron Mullett singled down the left-field line to close within 3-2. Goshen reliever Logan Jones retired Branden Scott to end the inning.

Goshen re-extended its lead with a two-out rally in the bottom of the fourth: Stroble worked the count full before walking and Hartig doubled into the left-field corner to score him for a 4-2 margin.

The skies darkened around Goshen throughout the inning, and the umpires halted play with Houston Haney at the plate and no outs in the top of the fifth. With the home team ahead, the game needed to reach the middle of the inning to become official, but after the interlude Haney walked to put the tying run on base. David Anderson grounded out to third to bring in Grace's third run before a walk put the go-ahead run on, but Jones struck out one man and got a pop-up to get out of the inning.

Each team left two runners on base in every half-inning after the fourth, but neither side scored again until the Goshen sixth. Stroble and Hartig each singled with one man out before a McGuire double knocked in the first run. Six pitches later, Chase Hunter grounded a ball to third, prompting a fielding error to score Hartig for a 6-2 lead.

The Lancers scored a pair of unearned runs in the top of the seventh, with the first run crossing the plate on a second error before a two-out Mullett single. Brooks, the go-ahead run, popped out to second to end the three-month affair.

Stoltzfus, Stroble, Hartig and McGuire each posted hits for GC, although Hartig was the only player to get both hits on Wednesday. Six of Grace's seven hits came in the resumed game: Mullett went 3 for 3 and drove in a pair of runs.

Jones threw a season-high 91 pitches in four innings for the win, allowing six hits but striking out five. Grace turned to Josh Tew in relief, who allowed two earned runs in three innings, but the loss was charged to original starter Logan Swartzendruber.

Goshen returns to its more conventional Crossroads League slate this weekend when the team visits Taylor University in Upland. The Maple Leafs and Trojans will play a three-game series, beginning with a single game at 6 p.m. Friday and continuing with a doubleheader at 2 p.m. Saturday.
