Varsity Blues catcher Jeremy Hopkins hit a home run to lead a come-from-behind victory over the Waterloo Warriors in the first game of a double header on Sunday, September 12 at Scarborough Campus.

U of T edged out the 4-3 win before dropping a 3-2 decision in the second game of the day.

Down 3-0, the Blues scored two runs in both the seventh and ninth to complete the comeback win. A Toronto native, Hopkins led the effort with two hits, one a home run, and two RBI, while Scott Donnelly and Steve Palladino shared duties on the mound.

The Warriors got out to a quick 2-1 lead in the second game of the day but the Blues were able to even the score in the fifth. Despite a solid team effort, the Warriors were able to pull out the win with one run in the seventh.

U of T’s Greg Katayama (Mississauga, Ont.) pitched the entire game, allowing only five hits. Fifth-year outfielder Jamie Lekas of Toronto had two hits in the loss.
