ANDERSON, Ind. -- Casey Kahsen belted his first collegiate home run as Defiance and Anderson locked horns in an HCAC slugfest on Friday afternoon. The two sides combined for 28 runs on 33 hits in nine innings, with the Ravens coming out on top, 16-12.
Anderson jumped on the board early and often, opening the three-game series with a 12-run attack through the first three innings of play on Friday. The Jackets would eventually face a 13-0 deficit after only four innings, before rallying for 12 runs of their own over the final five frames.
Eight Yellow Jacket batters had at least one hit in the loss, with Brad Timofeev, Kahsen and Ben Gates each collecting three hits. That trio combined to go nine-for-14 at the dish with seven runs scored and seven runs driven in.
Tim Pitro (2-6, RBI) and Keith Wade (2-3, two runs) chipped in multi-hit games, while Kirk Jesse, R.J. Chidester and Braden Brugler also joined the hit parade.
Defiance and Anderson will square off again on Saturday, as the teams are set to play a pair of games at Rutter Field beginning at 1:00 pm. DC's seniors, Chidester and David Jackson, will be recognized between the two games on Saturday.
