Box Score

York, Pa. - Junior RHP Jason Christenberry (Yoe, Pa./Dallastown) threw a gem in the first round of the 2009 Capital Athletic Conference Baseball Tournament as Christenberry's one-hitter kept second-seeded York (Pa.) College in the winner's bracket with a 6-0 blanking of fifth-seeded St. Mary's College of Maryland Thursday.

Christenberry (6-1) pitched a no-hitter for 8.0 innings before giving up a double to St. Mary's second batter of the ninth inning - sophomore shortstop Matt Baden (Sunderland, Md./Huntingtown).  Christenberry fanned 10 of the 32 Seahawk batters he faced, while only walking three as he went 8.2 innings.

York (24-7) took an early 1-0 lead in the first inning as senior DH Matt Austin (Shrewsbury, Pa./Susquehannock) connected on a two-out single to the right field to score junior outfielder Mike Connolly (Selden, N.Y./Newfield) who had singled through the right side in his at-bat.

The Spartans tacked on another run in the fourth when senior outfielder Ryan Poff (York, Pa./Spring Grove) came home on junior infielder Matt Monti's (Easton, Pa./Easton) two-out single to left field.  Poff led off the inning with a walk then stole second.

YCP exploded for four runs in the fifth inning following an RBI single to right field by Connolly and a three-run homer to left field by Poff.

Junior RHP Jon Gill (Owings Mills, Md./Park) was saddled with the loss as Gill (3-7) allowed six runs on 11 hits in 6.0 innings.

St. Mary's (13-17) returns to action tomorrow as the Seahawks host sixth-seeded University of Mary Washington in second round play at 3:30 at the Hawk's Nest.
