The Hamilton College baseball team snapped a three-game losing streak Friday by sweeping a doubleheader from Lawrence University in Auburndale, Fla. The Continentals won 9-3 and 17-6 to improve to 5-3 on the season.

Hamilton broke open a tight game in the opener, scoring four runs in the fourth inning and three more in the sixth to snap a 2-2 tie, then burst out of the gate in game two with four runs in the first and eight in the second.

Zack Becker '16 and Ryan Wolfsberg '17 both had a pair of hits in the game one win as Hamilton capitalized on seven Viking errors.

Three of the Continentals' four fourth-inning runs scored on errors before Robert Morris '17 capped the five-hit inning with an RBI single through the left side. Two innings later Hamilton needed just one hit to score three more runs -- thanks to three errors. Mele's sacrifice fly plated the first run and two more scored when the Vikings threw away an infield hit off the bat of Wolfsberg.

Becker scored three runs and Jordan Northrup '19 and David Rose '16 scored twice.

Starter Andrew Haser '17 earned his first win of the spring, scattering five hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out four, didn't issue a walk and allowed just one earned run.

Haser provided the big blow in the nightcap, capping Hamilton's eight-run second with a grand slam home run. The Continentals scored 12 times over their first two at bats.

Hamilton's first five hitters reached base in the second: Becker was hit by a pitch and Northrup followed with an infield single. Walks to Kenny Collins '17 and Wolfsberg brought in a run and Haser sent a 1-2 pitch over the left-field fence for his sixth career home run.

Later in the inning, Morris scored on a wild pitch and Collins closed out the outburst with a two-run single.

The Continentals had scored four times in the bottom of the first after Lawrence leaped out in front with three in the top of inning.

Mike Chiseri '16 brought home the tying and go-ahead runs with a double to left center after Morris walked with the bases loaded and Haser came in on a passed ball.

Cooper Halpern '19 singled in a run in the fifth and again in the sixth with Craig Sandford '19 knocking in the final Continental run.

Wolfsberg, who scored four runs, had three of Hamilton's 14 hits.

Dan DePaoli '18 improved to 2-0, fanning six Vikings over five innings. He allowed just four hits without walking a batter.

Hamilton returns to action Sunday, taking on Allegheny in a 1:45 p.m. doubleheader.
