The Johns Hopkins baseball team faced an early 6-0 hole against Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, but a seven-run fifth inning turned the tide and delivered an 11-7 victory in the Super Regional title game.
A rally built on timely hits
Key contributions came from Damian Brown, Lukas Geer and Hamilton Adams, whose timely hits fueled the comeback and earned Geer tournament MVP honors after he went 2-for-3 with five RBIs.
Graduate student Kieren Collins recorded his first career save, striking out the final three batters, while the pitching staff used six arms, with the last four combined to throw six innings and allow just five hits and two runs.
Despite rain delays and a late rally by Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, the Blue Jays held their lead and will now travel to Eastlake, Ohio, for the Division III World Series.
