PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. --  The Heidelberg University baseball team returned to its winning ways on Monday.  The Student Princes beat Thiel, 9-6, in a back and forth contest at the Snowbird Classic

With the win, Heidelberg improved to 3-3 on the season. Thiel dropped to 1-1 on the season.

Robert Hunt, Keaton Mark, Adam McVicker, and Seth Scoville all had multi-hit performances to lead the way offensively for The Berg. 

The scoring started early for the Thiel, as they struck in the top of the first. Seth Johnson led off the first inning with a triple off the left field wall and came around to score on an RBI single by Anthony Rago.

The Students Princes struck back in the 2nd inning with four runs of their own. Scoville singled, advanced to second on a balk, stole third, and advanced home on a passed ball. Thomas Sauer reached on a walk, advanced on a passed ball and a balk, then scored on an RBI bunt single by Robert Hunt. Hunt was brought in on an RBI double by Keaton Mark. Mark came around to score on a bloop single by Eric DeVore. 

In the bottom of the fifth, the Student Princes struck again. Deaunte Fleming belted a two-run homer to deep left center -- his first of the season. The hits kept coming for The Berg as following a Zane Mirgon walk, Scoville punched a single through the left side and was brought home on a double to right center by Sauer.
