College baseball

At Brennan Field, Romeoville, Ill.

Quincy University 13, Lewis 0: The Hawks wasted no time rebounding from Friday’s series-opening loss by shellacking the Flyers from the start. Lance Logsdon led off the game with a home run and added a two-run single later in the inning as the Hawks staked right-handed starter Jay Hammel to a 6-0 lead before he took the mound. Quincy tacked on four more runs in the third inning, highlighted by Sam Martinez’s RBI double. The Hawks finished with 15 hits as five starters collected two hits apiece. That was more than enough for Hammel, who threw five scoreless innings and allowed just two hits. He struck out eight and walked one.

Quincy University 4, Lewis 2: The Hawks completed the Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheader sweep by scoring two runs early and getting a scintillating start from left-hander Griffin Kirn. The Hawks loaded the bases in the first inning as Lance Logsdon led off with a walk, Dayson Croes singled with one out and Nolan Wosman was hit by a pitch. Zach Parks drew a run-scoring walk and Luke Napleton forced in another run when he was hit by a pitch. Logsdon had an RBI groundout in the sixth, and the Hawks plated another run in the seventh on a bases-loaded walk. Kirn, the Quincy Notre Dame product, held the Flyers hitless the first five innings before allowing a pair of runs in the sixth. He struck out six and walked two. Cruz Meier recorded the final four outs to earn the save. The Hawks are 16-13 overall and 7-4 in the GLVC.
