CLINTON, Miss. – Quincy University's baseball team looked to complete a series sweep of the Mississippi College Choctaws on Sunday (Feb. 23), but the Hawks gave up seventeen runs in the series finale. 

How It Happened
The Hawks got off to a promising start after scoring four runs in the second inning. Joe Roscetti brought in two runs with a single to right field. 

Jacob Kalusniak brought home another run with a RBI single to center which gave QU an early 3-0 lead. Nolan Snyder scored Roscetti from third base after grounding into a double play up the middle. Quincy held a 4-0 lead heading to the bottom of the second. 

The Choctaws were able to answer right away in next half of the frame. A two-run home run cut the score to 4-2. 

In the third inning, Mississippi College took control. A four-run inning gave the home team a 6-4 lead.

In the bottom of the frame, the Choctaws went back on the attack. Mississippi College hit a three-run homer to go ahead 9-5 and never looked back the rest of the way.
