Seventh-ranked Heidelberg pounded out 14 hits en route to a 14-5 victory over Denison on Tuesday afternoon from Peaceful Valley in Tiffin, Ohio.

The Berg struck first with three runs on a pair of base hits in the bottom of the first inning. The Big Red cut into the deficit in the top of the second when junior Georgie Montes scored on a double play ball.

With one out in the third, senior designated hitter Andrew Touhy roped a double down the right field line that scored Tucker Davison.  Junior Ryan Mulligan followed with a base hit up the middle that drove in Charlie Apfelbach, and Touhy, giving Denison its first lead of the game.

The lead was short lived as Heidelberg pushed across a run in the bottom of the third to tie the contest at 4-4.  Trevor Oldham knocked in TJ Harkness with a single through the right side.  The home team regained its lead with three runs in the fourth.  Alex Grove drew a bases-loaded walk, while Harkness plated a run with an infield single.  The final run came on a fielder's choice out to third.

Denison pushed a run across in the fifth thanks to a fielding error at second, but Heidelberg answered with four runs in the seventh and three more in the eighth to lock up the win.

Touhy finished 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs, while Mulligan drove in a pair. Apfelbach, Montes and Davison scored the other three runs for DU.
