QUOTES FROM THE JASPERS<\/p>\n
\n\tLooking to open its home schedule in style, the Green and White, who were on an extended skid, fell behind early to the Bobcats.
\n\tIn the home half of the third, Trevor Hansen<\/a> notched a leadoff base hit before a pair of Quinnipiac miscues allowed the Jaspers to put runners on second and third.
\n\tOn the next batter, Payton Matthews<\/a> grounded back to the Bobcats’ pitcher and fired wide of the catcher to bring home the two base runners and take the lead.
\n\tAfter Quinnipiac tied the game at two in the top of the fourth inning, the Jaspers leapt back in front with Colin Basehore’s<\/a> one-out double to eventually lead Hunter Sute<\/a> to nail a sacrifice fly and drive home Justin Best<\/a> from ninety feet away to go back in front by one run.
\n\tThe Jaspers added some cushion with a Payton Matthews<\/a> double after Ryan Lordier’s<\/a> leadoff single, before Vincent Samuel<\/a> grounded out to second and scored Lordier.
\n\tThe Bobcats smacked a three-run home run to go back in front, before the Jaspers added a pair of base runners to eventually bring up the go-ahead potential run with Andreaus Lewis<\/a> driving home Guriyandel Salva<\/a> and Trevor Hansen<\/a> with a single before the stellar defense of Quinnipiac’s right fielder caught him at second.
\n\tWith Quinnipiac threatening again in the eighth inning, Jackson Klein<\/a> forced Matt Park to ground into a double-play to avoid any further threat the Bobcats posed.
