Mustangs Eliminate York from CAC Tournament

Glen Burnie, MD - In a must win game for the Villa Julie Baseball team and for the 4th time in 8 days the Mustangs and the Spartans faced off. The Mustangs would prevail 6-4, beating York three times out of four games this season. With the loss, York is eliminated from the CAC Tournament leaving the Mustangs to battle it out on Saturday with the other CAC Contenders at Salisbury University. The win today was sweet revenge for the Mustangs, as York had ended Villa's season last year in the second round of the NCAA Regionals.

Sophomore starting pitcher John Jackson pitched 6 innings allowing 4 runs to earn his 4th victory of the season. Junior Chris Hayden pitched 2 scoreless innings and Junior Wade Keenan picked up the save pitching a scoreless 9th with 1 strikeout.  

York jumped out to a 4 run lead after scoring 3 in the 3rd.  The Mustangs battled back with 2 in the bottom of the 3rd, and 3 more in the bottom of the 5th to take the lead for good.  After a triple by Keenan, the Mustangs tacked on the extra run on a sacrifice fly by Senior Buddy Breidenbaugh in the bottom of the 7th.  Offensively, Keenan finished 3-4 with an RBI, Senior Jimmy Smith finished 2-4 with 2 RBI's.  

The Mustangs return to the field on Saturday at Salisbury, and will play at 12:30 vs Wesley College with the winner advancing and the loser going home.  The Winner of the VJC vs WC game will play at 4pm on Saturday against the loser of the Salisbury vs University of Mary Washington game.
