WILMORE, Kentucky - The Mount St. Joseph baseball team was on the road on Tuesday, heading south to take on the Asbury Eagles in a non-conference matchup. The Lions registered 17 hits in the game, scoring 8 times in the fourth inning to secure the 14-8 win.

The Lions got the scoring started in this one in the top of the first inning, they capitalized on a pair of Asbury errors to score twice in the inning. Ethan Mason and Brennan Martin each delivered RBIs in the inning. 

Asbury would score once in the bottom of the second to draw within one run, but the Lions exploded in the top of the fourth to take control of the game. In the inning the Lions sent 12 batters to the plate, registered 8 hits and scored 8 runs. Will Record and Jack Robinson both went 2-for-2 in the inning, with Record scoring twice. Austin Buckle and Record each delivered two-run hits in the inning, while Andrew Clements, Mason and Robinson each drove in one. 

The Eagles answered with four in the bottom of the fourth to make the score 10-5. 

On the Mound the Lions used five pitchers in the game, the middle three of Joseph Mossbarger, Brock Whitaker and Matt Frye were all outstanding. That trio combined to throw 4.1 innings allowing five hits, and no earned runs while striking out eight batters, with Mossbarger earning the win. 

The Lions would add insurance with two in the sixth, one in the eighth and one in the ninth eventually winning 14-8. 

As a team the Mount registered 17-hits, Record led the way with four, Clements and Robinson each had three and Jordan Harley, Buckle and Mason each had a pair of knocks.
