Underhill pitches a gem in Badgers' return to George Taylor Field

Brandon Underhill pitched a gem during the Brock baseball team's return to George Taylor Field in Merritton on Saturday, Oct. 2.

Brock opened its doubleheader with Waterloo with a 8-1 victory before dropping the second contest 6-2. The team played out of Welland Sports Complex to begin the season as George Taylor underwent maintenance.

Underhill, a fourth-year Kinesiology student from Niagara Falls, struck nine batters over seven innings while allowing six hits, an earned run. He walked only one Waterloo batter en route to capture the win.

"It looked like Brandon had his best stuff of the season. He was getting ahead of hitters, all of his pitches were working, and he only gave up one walk in his 101 pitches," said pitching coach Fabio Del Rio. "He's in top form heading into Regionals."

The Brock baseball team completed the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) regular season with a 6-4 record after its final doubleheader in Waterloo was cancelled due to heavy rainfall on Sunday, Oct. 3.

The Badgers are preparing to host the OUA Regionals at Oakes Park in Niagara Falls from Oct. 9-10. These Regionals are one of four area qualifiers for the OUA Baseball Championships.

On Saturday, Dan Howat made his pitching debut in relief of Underhill as he struck out four batters over two innings while allowing only a hit.

Brock opened the game with a three-run first inning and never looked back.

Hitting third and fourth in the batting order, outfielder Bryn Sanford and first baseman Cole Carpenter enjoyed multi-hit performances. Sanford tallied two hits and two RBI. Carpenter followed up with three hits and a pair of RBI. Sanford scored a run, and Carpenter added a stolen base.
