DOVER, Del. - Sophomore Dustin Tarlow
(Finksburg/Westminster) went 4-for-4 with two RBIs while
senior Wade Keenan (Eldersburg/Liberty) allowed
just four hits and struck out five as the Stevenson University
baseball team won game one of a CAC doubleheader with Wesley
Saturday at Bob Reed Field 3-2 before dropping the second, 9-5.
The win in game one snapped a two-game losing skid for the
Mustangs (11-8, 7-2 CAC) and was just their second in the last
eight.
Tarlow totaled four of Stevenson's six hits as senior
Max Eckert (Hyattsville/Perkiomen Prep) and
sophomore Kyle Van Beek (Bel Air/John Carroll)
finished with one hit each.
Tarlow scored the game's first run in the top of the third on a
sacrifice fly by freshman Justin Anderson (Shrewsbury,
Pa./Calvert Hall) following a one-out triple.
After Keenan held the Wolverines (13-9-1, 3-4 CAC) the first
four innings, they would take the lead with two runs in the bottom
of the fifth, including an unearned run on a fielding error which
gave Wesley a 2-1 lead.
However, with two outs in the top of the seventh and runners on
second and third, Tarlow hit a two-run single that scored Van Beek
and Keenan to put the Mustangs in front.
In the bottom of the seventh, Keenan retired the Wolverines
in order to pick up his third win in five starts this season.
In the second game, Stevenson let a 5-1 lead slip away
after committing three errors in the sixth which to led six
runs.
After junior Derrick Nason
(Catonsville/Reservoir) entered in relief of sophomore
Steve Krider (Westminster/Westminster), he retired
the first batter he faced before Billy Crowe reached on an error
that would have been the second out.
Two singles and a walk pulled Wesley within one with runners on
second and third before junior Brian Spinazzola
(Baltimore/Boys Latin) entered for Nason.
The first batter Spinazzola faced reached on error which should
have ended the inning, but instead, scored the game-tying run and
kept the inning alive for the Wolverines with one out and runners
still on second and third.
Wesley then added four more runs on an RBI single by Scott
Marshall and a three-run double by Greg McKee.
Colin Warner went the distance for the Wolverines, allowing
eight hits and three earned runs and striking out five.
Meanwhile, Nason suffered his second-straight loss after
starting the season 3-0.
Keenan and Eckert each went 2-for-3 with two RBIs for the
Mustangs while Anderson was 1-for-3 with a run driven in.
Stevenson hosts a non-conference doubleheader with Juniata on
Tuesday beginning at 3:00 p.m.
