TUCSON, Ariz. - Concordia-St. Paul (2-5) wasn't able to hold onto a 7-2 lead after five innings, falling 9-8 to Hastings College (7-6) on Monday morning at Kino Sports Complex.

Hastings scored seven of its nine runs with two outs, including the tying and go-ahead runs in the ninth inning.

Junior Eric Fasnacht hit his first two career home runs, playing in his 79th career game, a 2-run homer in the first and a 3-run shot in the fifth to give Concordia the 7-2 lead. He also saved a first inning run with a diving stop up the middle with runners on first and third and two outs to avenge his first error of the year.

He went 2-5 with five RBI in the game to power the Golden Bear offense.

The Golden Bears still maintained the lead into ninth inning 7-6, with the infield turning an unusual 5-3-2 double play with a runner on first base and no outs. The double play was converted by the catcher, David Henke at third base as the runner attempted to go from first to third on the sacrifice.

But Hastings regrouped despite Concordia being one out from winning the game. An infield hit and a walk put two runners on when a chopper slid just past the dove of a diving Fasnacht in the hole at short which tied the game. The next batter hit another soft infield single, giving Hastings three soft infield singles to go ahead 8-7 in the ninth.

Concordia put together a two out rally of its own in the ninth as Kyle Dalton delivered one of his three hits with Tyler Krekling hitting a fly ball to right center that was lost in the sun to score Dalton and tie the game.

In the 10th inning, a pair of one out hits put runners on second and third with the go-ahead run scoring on an error a grounder to third base.

Concordia couldn't get to Hastings relief pitcher Micah Lockerby who picked up the win while retiring all four batters he faced on 17 pitches.

Tyler Schmitz took the tough luck loss out of the bullpen, allowing an unearned run on three hits in 1.1 innings to fall to 1-1.

Dalton's 3-5 performance moved his average to .516 on the season, as he also delivered his second double and scored three times. Krekling followed him in the lineup by going 2-5 with a pair of doubles and a pair of RBI.

Alex LaPorte added a 2-4 performance from the bottom of the order to give the Golden Bears four hitters with multi-hit games.

Sophomore Erik Monson made his first Concordia start and worked into the sixth inning, but was victimized by 2-out runs as five of the six runs he allowed came with two outs including one inherited runner in the sixth. He threw three shutout innings to start the day, and allowed a two out run in each of the fourth and fifth innings before being chased in the sixth.

Hastings produced 19 total hits in the game including six doubles and left 15 runners on base while Concordia only stranded four aboard while delivering 11 hits.

Concordia closes out its spring trip in Tucson on Tuesday with an 11 a.m. (central) first pitch against Lubbock Christian (Texas).
