Haden Hoff suffered a broken ankle rounding first base during a scrimmage against Mount Hebron on March 17, five days before start of the season, and the Westminster junior wondered if he’d be able to contribute for the Owls this spring.

“I was definitely scared I was going to be out for the whole year,” Hoff said.

A little more than a month later, Hoff put a stamp on his official return. The catcher/outfielder led Westminster in a doubleheader sweep over host Francis Scott Key on Saturday — the Owls won the first game 9-7, and pulled away in Game 2 for a 17-7 romp in six innings.

Hoff had four RBIs in the morning game, then went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, three runs, and three RBIs in Game 2.

Westminster (7-2, 6-2 Carroll County) pounded out 17 hits in Game 2, and scored seven runs in the sixth inning to put the 10-run rule in effect — the Owls were the home team in the nightcap.

A lot of the damage was done by Hoff, who played his first game last Tuesday against Century.

“I’m still getting to 100 percent, but I’m feeling pretty good right now,” Hoff said.

Standing nearby, fellow junior Ryan Clatterbuck cracked a big smile when he heard Hoff. With Westminster having won five of its last seven games, and starting to become fully healthy, Clatterbuck said there’s no telling how successful this season could be.

“We were hitting before, but when we get everybody back it’s just scary to see what we can do,” said Clatterbuck, who added a double and two RBIs.

The Owls sent 10 batters to the plate in that big sixth inning and collected seven hits. They also took advantage of two errors — Francis Scott Key (2-9, 1-7) committed six in the second game.

Still, the Eagles stayed close. They led 5-4 in the fourth inning, fell behind 10-5 in the fifth, but scored two runs in the sixth before Westminster pulled away.

No. 2 Archbishop Curley 3, Mount St. Joseph 2: Winning pitcher Corey Burton (2-0) went five innings, gave up two runs on six hits, walked three and struck out eight as the host Friars (18-3, 10-2 Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference) beat the Gaels (8-13, 4-8)

Jalen March hit a home run in his third consecutive game. He has four home runs on the season.
