St. Mary's City, Md. - Sophomore right-hander Barrett Enix (Suffolk, Va./Nansemond-Suffolk Academy) picked up his second consecutive victory as Enix led the St. Mary's College of Maryland baseball team to an 8-4 victory to complete the three-game sweep of City College of New York Monday afternoon.

Enix pitched six solid innings with only three walks and a pair of hits as the Seahawks (4-2) finished the three-game series with CCNY outscoring the Beavers, 25-8.

St. Mary's owned a 2-0 lead after the first two innings following an RBI double by junior centerfielder Jacen Killebrew (La Plata, Md./La Plata) in the first inning and a sacrifice fly by sophomore right fielder Bobby Corton (Owings Mills, Md./Calvert Hall) in the second.

The Seahawks boasted a 5-0 advantage following a three-run fourth inning.  Sophomore shortstop Matt Baden (Sunderland, Md./Huntingtown) initiated the scoring with his RBI double to bring home Killebrew.  Baden crossed home plate himself as junior second baseman Lyle Kralle (Great Mills, Md./Great Mills) doubled to right field.  The final run of the inning came on senior third baseman Blake Beaudoin's (Damascus, Md./Damascus) sac fly to score sophomore leftfielder Mark Dattilio (Hagerstown, Md./North Hagerstown).

CCNY (0-3) made it interesting in the seventh as the Beavers capitalized on a Seahawk error to put four runs on the board.  Junior designated hitter Derek Faucher (Bradford, Pa.) led off the inning with a single then came home on sophomore pinch hitter Colin Desmarais' (Mystic, Conn.) two-out single.  Junior pinch hitter Pavel Cruz (New York, N.Y.) connected on a 370-foot long three-run homer to pull the visitors within 5-4.  St. Mary's cut the Beavers' rally short in the seventh as junior Willis Fernandez (New York, N.Y.) was caught stealing at third for the final out of the inning.

The Seahawks established a three-run cushion in the bottom of the seventh as Beaudoin led off with a triple and then came home on junior first baseman Jon Gill's (Owings Mills, Md./Park) sac fly, while senior catcher J.P. Debrowski (Sykesville, Md./Glenelg) scored on Corton's second sac fly of the game.

The home team's eighth run came in the eighth inning behind Debrowski's RBI single to bring home freshman shortstop Eric Gronbeck (Owings, Md./Northern) who lead off with a single.

Baden was 2-for-2 with a double, a run and an RBI, while Gill notched a 2-for-3 effort with a run and an RBI.

Faucher led the Beaver offense with a 2-for-3 performance, while sophomore south paw Chris Hopstock (Brooklyn, N.Y.) took the loss on the mound as Hopstock (0-1) walked eight and gave up seven runs on eight hits in 6.0 innings.

The Seahawks return to action this Saturday, February 21 when SMCM hosts Wilkes University in a non-conference doubleheader at the Hawk's Nest.  The first pitch is set for 11:00 am.
