Offense Erupts as Baseball Sweeps Defenders

SCRANTON, Pa. - The Wilson College baseball team wrapped up regular season CSAC play with a monster offensive showing at Clarks Summit this afternoon. The Phoenix (27-9, 10-2 CSAC) took the opening game of the doubleheader by a score of 30-0 and finished off the nightcap with a 41-2 victory over the Defenders (1-26, 1-11 CSAC). 

How It Happened Game 1: The Phoenix scored at least one run in each inning with the exception of the 5th inning. Junior Dean Mercer (Dunedin, FL., Clearwater Central Catholic) started the onslaught with a 3-run homerun in the 1st inning that plated senior Gerald Buchanan (Olney, MD, ) and junior Michael Marrale (Sykesville, MD, ). Three more runs came home in the 2nd with the big blow coming from the bat of Marrale who ripped an RBI-double to left that scored senior Brandon Cook (Glen Burnie, MD., ). A four-run 3rd inning featured an RBI-triple from freshman Alex Seidleck (Crownsville, MD, Indian Creek HS) and a 2-RBI double by Marrale. The 4th inning produced the most runs of the game as 7 Phoenix crossed home plate. Four doubles in the inning and each resulted in runs scored as freshman Doc Daniels (Deal Island, MD, Crisfield HS), sophomore Brady Andre (Brookeville, MD, Sherwood HS), and senior KJ Curry (Bowie, MD., ) joined the hit parade. Marrale tagged his third RBI-double in as many at-bats to push the score to 15-0. After an unusually quiet 5th inning, the bats were back at it in the sixth as the Phoenix posted six more runs on the scoreboard. Mercer recorded a bases clearing double and Seidleck smashed a 2-run homerun to move the advantage to 23-0. Single runs crossed the plate in the 7th and 8th innings, but the visitors would add five more in the 9th. Freshmen Ryan Torres (Baltimore, MD, Archbishop Curley HS) and Conrad Wasson (Lebanon, PA, Cedar Crest HS), sophomore Bryan DeCarlo (Gaithersburg, MD, ), and senior Eli Klopp (College Park, MD., DeMatha Catholic) each recorded an RBI in the inning with the run total now at 30 for the game. Not to be overlooked by the offensive production was the outstanding performance on the bump by senior Cam Nolet (Annapolis, MD., ). 15 more strikeouts in today's start pushed Nolet over the 100 strikeout mark for the season and he currently leads the nation in strikeouts with 110.

Inside the Box Score Game 1: Marrale was on fire with a 5-for-5 game at the dish with 3 doubles and 5 RBI. Seidleck also tallied 5 hits and 5 RBI. Mercer had a game high 6 RBI off a double and his 4th homerun of the season. The Phoenix offense pounded out a season high 33 hits, which would get surpassed in game 2.

How It Happened Game 2: Game 2 mirrored game one with the exception that the Defenders got on the scoreboard in the nightcap. The Phoenix bats stayed hot as 11 runs came home in th top of the 1st inning. Marrale recorded 2 doubles and 3 RBI in the frame. Buchanan crushed his team leading 5th homerun of the season in the inning. In the third inning, junior Michael Mcgee (Frederick, MD., Thomas Johnson) drilled his first homerun of the season, a 2-RBI shot to make the score 14-1. Seven runs scored in the 4th, a homerun by Andre and triples by Curry and freshman Haden Hoff (Westminster, MD, ) were the big shots of the inning. A ten-run 5th followed for the Phoenix. Singles by sophomores Justin Fleig (Harrisburg, PA, Central Dauphin HS) and Ryan Green (Fulton, MD, Reservoir HS), and senior Dylan Procopio (Pittsburgh, PA., ) all drove in runs. Wasson, DeCarlo, and Daniels each recorded an RBI-double in the frame. Homerun's by Wasson in the 6th and Green in the 7th extended the lead to 35-2. The Phoenix would add 6 more runs in the 9th to make the final score 41-2.

Inside the Box Score Game 2: The 41 runs and 38 hits are program records for the Phoenix. Marrale was a perfect 4-for-4 in the game with 4 RBI. Daniels and Wasson each tallied a career high 4 hits. Every single position player in the line-up recorded at least 1 hit and all but one of them also recorded at least 1 RBI. 5 Phoenix pitchers combined to allow just 3 hits while striking out 13.

Up Next: The Phoenix will close out the regular season on the road at Pitt Bradford on Tuesday.
