Hawks Earn Series Win with 4-1 Victory at Towson

TOWSON, Md. – The Monmouth University baseball team scored the final four runs of the game to back a trio of strong pitching performances and claimed a 4-1 win over Towson University on Saturday afternoon.
 
Towson struck first in the contest as the Tigers reached Monmouth starter Alec Couture for a one-out run in the second.
 
The Hawks responded in the top of the third inning with a pair and took back the lead. Colin Richter ripped a one-out triple to center and came in to score as Sam Saucke reached on a fielders choice. Saucke then scored on an attempted double steal. 
 
Couture settled in and limited the Tigers to just one base runner over the next three innings. That allowed the Hawks to maintain their 2-1 advantage. 
 
Monmouth added to the lead in the top of the seventh. Richter reached on a two-out walk and came around to score on Saucke's home run to left center.
 
 Austin Beard and David Horvath pitched the final four innings for the Hawks and limited Towson to just one hit and two walks to close out the 4-1 victory.
