Moser homer helps to lift HU

Two of the top teams in the Crossroads League hammered away in a slugfest.

A former Patriot was part of the hitting barrage.

Max Moser, a 2018 Jay County High School graduate, recorded three hits for the Huntington University baseball team March 30 and 31 as it split a four-game set with Taylor.

Moser had a big Friday for the Foresters, smacking a two-run home run in the fourth inning of game-two of a doubleheader to pull his team even at 5-5. He added an RBI walk in the seventh inning as he finished 1-for-3 with a run and three RBIs.

He recorded a two-out double to right-center field in the eighth inning of Friday’s opener and scored on a Tyler Jakob single to give HU an 8-7 lead. Taylor would reclaim the advantage in the bottom of the frame before HU, which got a 1-for-2 effort and two walks from Moser, scored three times in the top of the ninth for the win.

Moser was also 1-for-3 with a walk in the opening game of the series March 30.

Noah Arbuckle, a 2020 JCHS graduate, pitched in Friday’s first game. He started and allowed six runs on seven hits and three walks in four innings. He struck out four batters.

Following the series, Taylor (23-11, 16-4 Crossroads League) and Huntington (21-10, 15-5 CL) sit second and third in the Crossroads league behind Indiana Wesleyan (22-11-1, 17-3 CL).
