Glen Burnie, Md. - The
Stevenson University baseball team took its place atop of the
Capital Athletic Conference standings with the Mustangs' 13-3 rout
of St. Mary's College of Maryland Sunday afternoon to remain
undefeated in league play thus far.
Stevenson (8-2, 6-0 CAC) scored four runs in the first inning to
set the game's tone. The Mustangs went on to establish a 5-0
lead after three innings of play.
The Seahawks (9-6, 3-3 CAC) cut the deficit to 5-2 in the fourth
inning as junior second baseman Lyle Kralle (Great
Mills, Md./Great Mills) led off with a single and then came home on
senior catcher J.P. Debrowski's (Sykesville,
Md./Glenelg) single to left field. St. Mary's second run came
when sophomore shortstop Matt Baden (Sunderland,
Md./Huntingtown) scored on an error by Stevenson's catcher, senior
Griffin Stewart (Reisterstown, Md./Bel Air).
St. Mary's pulled within 5-3 in the fifth as sophomore right
fielder Bobby Corton (Owings Mills, Md./Calvert
Hall) crossed home plate on a sacrifice fly to right field by
Baden.
That was the closest the Seahawks would get as Stevenson added
three runs in the bottom of the fifth and five in the
seventh. The Mustangs finished with 13 runs on 15 hits but
only three were earned.
Junior RHP Derrick Nason (Catonsville,
Md./Reservoir) improved to 3-0 on the year as
Nason threw 7.0 innings with two earned runs on
five hits. He struck out four and walked three.
Stewart made up for his error in the fourth by
going 4-for-4 at the plate with three RBI and a run scored, while
sophomore Dustin Tarlow (Finksburg,
Md./Westminster) went 3-for-6 with two RBI and two runs
scored. Three other Mustangs notched two hits in the win.
Sophomore RHP Barrett Enix (Suffolk,
Va./Nansemond-Suffolk Academy) suffered his first loss of the
season as Stevenson scored five unearned runs on seven hits and two
errors during Enix' (2-1) 3.0 innings.
The Seahawks hope to turnaround their three-game losing streak
this Thursday, March 12 when St. Mary's hosts No. 20 Christopher
Newport University in a non-conference nine-inning single game at
3:00 in the Hawk's Nest.
