GOSHEN, Ind. - Saint Francis used their offensive prowess in the first game and their pitching in the second to take a doubleheader sweep  against the Maple Leafs on Thursday. The Cougars won 21-9 and 2-1.

Game One
The Cougars scored three first inning runs but the Leafs quickly answered with five in the bottom half of the inning. Troy Griffin hit a two-RBI double down the right field line that nearly cleared the loaded bases. Jackson Whittington immediately followed it up with a two-RBI single to center. He stole second and later stole third - making it home on the same play after a throwing error from the pitcher.

In the bottom of the fourth, the score was 5-4 when Whittington walked with the bases loaded and Hunter Oborn then hit a sac fly to left field to score Fernando Marte Santana. The 7-4 lead was erased in the top of the fourth as the Cougars scored 11 runs on five hits and three Goshen errors. Marte Santana's two-RBI double down the left field line closed the gap, making the score 15-9. The Cougars scored once in the fifth and added five more runs in the eighth to win by run rule after eight innings by a 21-9 score.

Three of Goshen's five hits were doubles from Aidan Calvey, Fernando Marte Santana and Troy Griffin. Marte Santana also had a single, as did Jackson Whittington. Whittington had three RBIs and two stolen bases. Marte Santana scored twice and had two RBIs.

Braylon Pond had the loss, allowing six runs, all unearned, in two innings of work.

Game Two
While the teams combined for 30 runs in game one, they produced just three between them in the second contest. USF took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second on an RBI groundout and scored a second run in the fourth from a single hit down the left field line from AJ Patton that scored Owen Zimmerman.

As the first batter in the bottom of the sixth, Aidan Calvey homered to left field - his third home run of the season. Aaron Matthews came in to pitch the seventh for the Leafs and did his part. In the bottom of the seventh, the Leafs were not able to score either, and the Cougars won 2-1.
