How It Happened
- St. Mary's scored twice in the first and two more in the fifth for its 4-0 lead. Wilson finally was able to generate some momentum in the sixth which resulted in loading the bases. Walks were then issued to Samuel Martin (Jr., Maugansville, Md. / North Hagerstown / Hagerstown C.C.) and Seth Bivens (Sr., Hancock, Md. / Hancock / Hagerstown C.C.) to bring in Tyler O'Brien (So., Frederick, Md. / Tuscarora) and Joe Nawrocki (So., Parkton, Md. / Calvert Hall) to make it 4-2. Momentum carried into the seventh were the Phoenix created some two-out lightning with Garrett Drish (FY, Annapolis, Md. / Broadneck) driving in O'Brien and Cody Valentine (Jr., Fairfield, Pa. / St. Andrews) on a base hit up the middle.
- Unfortunately for the Phoenix, the Seahawks were able to counter in the bottom half. An infield error helped load the bases and a hit batter forced in the go-ahead run. Wilson was able to get out of the jam with the bases loaded, but the hosts added two more on three hits in the eighth.
Inside The Numbers
- Nawrocki and Drish both had multiple hit games to lead the Phoenix at the dish.
- Wilson batters were walked a season-high 13 times. Three were issued to Bivens. Five were walked twice.
