St. Mary's City, Md. - The St. Mary's College
of Maryland baseball team picked up a non-conference doubleheader
sweep of Lancaster Bible College Wednesday afternoon as the
Seahawks improved to 18-19-1 on the year. St. Mary's posted
an 8-0 victory in the first game and then notched a 10-0 win in the
nightcap.
The Seahawks return to action this Saturday when St. Mary's
hosts Frostburg State University in a non-conference doubleheader
with the first pitch set for noon. Prior to the start of the
first game, the Seahawks' nine seniors will be recognized for their
accomplishments on and off the field.

Freshman right-hander Mikel Iraola
(Silver Spring, Md./DeMatha) pitched his first collegiate complete
game as Iraola knocked down a season-best 13 strikeouts against one
walk in leading the Seahawks to a shutout victory. With his
fourth win of the season, Iraola tied the team lead in wins.
Iraola's cause was helped by the fact that St. Mary's scored at
least one run in all but one inning. Freshman outfielder
Jacen Killebrew (La Plata, Md./La Plata) was the
only Seahawk with a multiple hit game as Killebrew went 2-for-3
with two runs and an RBI. Killebrew also stole two bases to
raise his team-leading total to 24. Senior catcher
Mike Broccolino (Millersville, Md./Old Mill) drove
in two runs and plated one run himself.
The Jacques brothers (Norristown, Pa.) paced LBC (10-16)
offensively as both Steve and Dan
went 2-for-3. Junior Ben Markey (Dallastown,
Pa.) gave up eight runs (six earned) on eight hits as Markey (2-4)
threw five walks and only a pair of strikeouts.
