St. Mary's City, Md. - Runs in three
consecutive innings propelled the St. Mary's College of Maryland
baseball team to a 7-2 victory over York (Pa.) College Wednesday
afternoon in Capital Athletic Conference action.
After two scoreless innings, the Seahawks (12-12, 5-4 CAC)
posted a 2-0 lead in the third as sophomore outfielder
Jacen Killebrew (La Plata, Md./La Plata) singled
in freshman infielder Matt Baden (Sunderland,
Md./Huntingtown) who had tripled to right field as the inning's
second batter. Killebrew then scored on a single by freshman
outfielder Matt Streich (E. Greenwich, R.I./E.
Greenwich).
St. Mary's followed that up with a run in the fourth as junior
infielder Jason Turen (Clarksville, Md./River
Hill) scored on senior infielder Mike Lance's
(Eldersburg, Md./Centennial) single to right field.
SMCM had a three-run fifth inning to go up 6-0. Senior DH
Mike Broccolino's (Millersville, Md./Old Mill)
single to right field brought home Killebrew who had connected on a
leadoff triple to left. Broccolino then came home on junior
infielder Blake Beaudoin's (Damascus,
Md./Damascus) infield hit to shortstop. Junior catcher
J.P. Debrowski (Sykesville, Md./Glenelg) plated
the sixth run on a sac fly to right by Lance.
Turen connected on his second career home run in the seventh to
increase the Seahawk lead to 7-0.
Senior right-hander Ryan D'Antuono (Ellicott

six games. The Spartans avoided the shutout with a pair of
runs on the eighth.

Grove) and freshman infielder Kyle Cook
(Pylesville, Md./North Harford) had two hits apiece for the
