Rodammer hits three homers but Goshen loses both games against Cougars

Game one was Rodammer's first multi-home run game in his collegiate career

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio - Jenner Rodammer had three home runs on Saturday afternoon at Mount Vernon, but the Cougars won both doubleheader games 3-2 and 6-3.

Rodammer hit his first home run in the third inning of game one to put the Leafs up 1-0. Eric Pettipiece allowed no runs and three hits in 4.2 innings pitched, striking out five batters and walking one. He was taken out of the game due to injury, and AJ Lenn threw the remainder of the contest. The Cougars had an RBI single in the sixth, but Rodammer hit another solo homer in the seventh to retake the lead at 2-1. This was Rodammer's first multi-home run game in his collegiate career.

Holden Blankenship hit the MVNU RBI single in the sixth and followed it with a home run in the eighth to tie the game again. In the bottom of the ninth, the Cougars got a runner to third base with one out in the inning, and the Maple Leafs intentionally walked the next two batters to make the double-play opportunity possible. However, Joe Poremsky was walked, and the winning run came home from third, ending in a 3-2 Mount Vernon Nazarene win.

Lenn allowed three earned runs in the 3.2 innings he pitched and picked up the loss. Rodammer was 3-4 with two homers, two runs, two RBIs and a walk. Nate Lange and Peyton Smith had two hits each, and the Leafs finished with eight as a team - the same as MVNU.

Rodammer hit his third home run of the day in the first inning of game one. That solo shot was his 11th home run of the season, making him tied for seventh in the Crossroads League in that category. Preston Anderson was the next batter, and he made it back-to-back home runs for GC with another home run. The Cougars scored once in the second and thrice in the third to double up on Goshen 4-2. Austin Martin hit an RBI single in the sixth, but the home team scored two more in the bottom half of the inning and won 6-3.

Rodammer was 2-4 in the game and has a hit in 11 of his last 12 games. Jarrett Willoughby earned the start and allowed six earned runs in six innings. He threw three strikeouts and gave up one walk. It was his longest outing this year.

The Leafs are at Huntington on Monday, April 24, at 3:00 pm. Those games were rescheduled from April 5.
