Auburndale, FL- The Colby Sawyer baseball team knocked out 15 hits as they handled the MCLA Trailblazers 12-2 in game one of a doubleheader at Lake Myrtle Park.

CSC responded with a single run in the fourth before a three run uprising in the fifth made it 8-2.  MCLA threatened in the bottom half of the inning putting runners on second and third with one out, but the Chargers flashed some leather when Liam Nolan flied out to left and then they threw out Ryan Shook attempting to score from third keeping the score at 8-2.

Todd Hunt took the loss for MCLA throwing the first four innings and giving up 8 hits and 5 runs, all earned.  He walked four and struck out four.  Pulasky was a perfect 4-4 on the afternoon to lead the offense.  Nate Gutmann and Shook also had three hits.
