Affolder extends hitting streak
Collin Affolder has been one of the best hitters on the team.
He continued his hitting tear as the Pilots closed out the regular season.
Affolder, a 2014 South Adams High School graduate, tallied four hits in the final three games of the regular season for the Bethel College baseball team.
The junior, who is third on the team with a .345 batting average, had one hit and scored a run in a 4-3 loss to the Marian Knights in the first game of a doubleheader on Friday. He followed with a pair of singles and another run in a 2-1 loss to the Knights.
He then closed the regular season with a single and a run as the Pilots (20-20, 10-17 Crossroads League) defeated Marian 5-3.
Affolder has hit safely in each of the last eight games, one shy of his career best after beginning the season with a nine-game hitting streak. The former Starfire is second on the team with 29 runs, and nine doubles. His 26 RBIs is fourth on the team.
Bethel is the No. 8 seed in the Crossroads League tournament and meets top-seeded and No. 24 Huntington on Friday.

Dunn finished the regular season with a .210 batting average with 10 runs and a pair of RBIs.
The Bearcats (14-22, 8-10 River States Conference) will be the No. 7 seed in the conference tournament and meet No. 2 seed Midway on Friday.
