Caney homers twice, bullpen shuts the door, to lead Skidmore past Haverford 9-8

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Junior Holden Caney hit a pair of home runs and the back of the bullpen blanked the Fords over the final three innings as the Skidmore College baseball team won its fifth in a row, 9-6, over Haverford on Friday morning.
  • Skidmore (7-1) has scored eight or more runs in each of their last six games in Florida. With two games remaining on Saturday, the Thoroughbreds matched their 7-1 trips of 2022 and 2011 for the best in team history.
  • Caney launched a solo homer in the top of the second to the opposite field responding to a four-run Haverford bottom of the first. He went deep again, this time to left field, in the top of the fifth to plate three and give Skidmore a 9-5 lead.
  • Eddie Galvao also homered for the Thoroughbreds. His solo jack in the fifth, on the first pitch of the inning, tied the game at five.
  • Then, with two outs, Landon Schwartzman and Quinn McDonald doubled back-to-back to give Skidmore its first lead of the day right before Caney's bomb.
  • Skidmore plated five runs in the fifth on six hits and four extra-base hits.
  • Haverford closed to within one on a single run in the fifth and two more on a Miles Prusek two-run double in the sixth.
  • Charles Modlin replaced Skidmore starter Quinn Hocom in the seventh. After a 1-2-3 inning, he stranded the tying run on third and the go-ahead run on second in the bottom of the eighth on a strike three call.
  • In the ninth, Sam Dalsimer induced a pair of ground balls and got a strikeout to close it out and pick up his second save.
  • Hocom got the win, his second, with 12 strikeouts over six innings.
  • Jack Collins finished 4-for-5 for the Thoroughbreds with a double. Jack Riva went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a pair of stolen bases.
  • For Haverford, Sam Schaeffer was 4-for-4 with a solo homer in the fourth and an RBI single in the first. He also stole a pair of bags and scored twice.
  • Skidmore pitching combined to strike out 14 Haverford hitters against just one walk.
  • Ethan Goldstein pitched 2.1 innings of shutout relief for the Fords.
