FT. PIERCE, Fla. - The Hilbert College baseball team chipped away at Geneva College's pitching staff as the Hawks collected 11 hits in their 4-2 victory over the Tornados this afternoon.

Junior Sal Carroccia closed with his second win of the season and helped the Hawks move to 3-4 with one game remaining before they return to Hamburg tomorrow afternoon.

Paul Wujek and Ryan Bonafede each went 2-for-4 while Anthony Wurstner and Kevin Moore went 2-for-5 but knocked in an RBI each. Taylor Haug pushed the third Hawk run to the plate and Wurstner stole home for the final run.

Carroccia went eight innings, faced 32 batters while striking seven out. The junior thrower got the Tornados to hit into 15 outs but gave up six hits.

Moore's single RBI scored Bonafede in the second inning to get the Hawks on the score board first.

Geneva found a pair of runs in the bottom of the third to take a 2-1 lead.

Then, with bases loaded, Wurstner's single to left field scored Joshua Maier in to top of the fifth to knot the score at 2-2. Maier made it home again in the 8th off Haug's sacrifice fly to center field.

Wurstner started the final run in the 9th inning. His hit to center field gave him second base and Paul Wujek moved him to third. Before Moore doubled to left field, Wurstner stole home for the final marker.

Ryan Bonafede became the Hawks All Time hit by pitch leader (15), Sal Carroccia became the program's All Time leader in most fly outs (89) and Kevin Moore became the All Time leader with Put outs this afternoon (363). All three players have been with the program for only three years so they should be able to stretch their numbers before they graduate.

Hilbert returns to the diamond one-last time tomorrow (9:30 am) when they look for revenge against Wilkes University, yesterday's 10-4 victors over the Hawks.
