HAVERFORD, Pa. - The Haverford College baseball team posted runs in four consecutive middle innings but dropped a heart-breaking, 16-13, Centennial Conference decision to visiting Ursinus College when the Bears answered with 10 runs in the final two frames.

Haverford (23-5, 8-3 CC) scored 13 runs over the fourth through seventh innings to take a 13-6 lead over the Bears (9-14, 5-6) into the top of the eighth.

The 13-hit Haverford attack was buoyed by Charlie Carluccio who was 5-for-5 in the game, scored once and collected five RBI, three of which came on a home run to left field in the bottom of the seventh.

Louis DeRosa, Mike Galetta and Jeremy Zoll all had a multi-hit game for the Fords, each registering one RBI as well as combining for five of the team's 13 runs.

Four Ursinus players had three or more hits in the outing with lead-off batter Brandon Sullivan knocking in a team-best six runs on four hits.

Haverford starter Dan Hochburg lasted only 4.1 innings as he surrendered six runs on 10 hits pitching into the fifth. Patrick Falkoff came in to relieve Hochburg and closed out the Bears' early big-inning, cutting off the rally at just four runs and a 6-3 lead.

With Haverford ahead 13-6, Ursinus was able to post five runs in the eighth then five more in the ninth off three Fords pitchers to move ahead by three.

Mike Bozzi (0-1) took the loss for the Fords, giving up five runs on three hits and three walks while striking out two over 1.1 innings.

Ursinus' Allen Weaver (1-1) allowed three runs in the two innings he pitched but was the pitcher of record when the Bears wrested the lead away from Haverford in the ninth. Jake Kohler came on to start the bottom half of the final frame and earned the save, his first of the season, allowing just one walk to the Fords in their final rally attempt.

Haverford will get another chance at the Bears in its very next game, a 3:30 p.m. Friday afternoon outing in Collegeville, Pa.
