ABERDEEN, Md. - Stevenson baseball senior
George Papuchis (Damascus/Good Counsel) and junior
Brandon Krochune (Baltimore/Digital Harbor) each
had two hits and drove in two while senior Derrick Nason
(Catonsville/Reservoir) earned his second win in the
Mustangs' 7-4 CAC victory over York (Pa.) Friday at Yankee Stadium
Field.
The win was the third consecutive for Stevenson (11-2, 5-2 CAC)
and its fifth in six games at home this season.
With the game tied at 2-2 in the fifth, the Mustangs scored
three runs on back-to-back, two-out doubles by Krochune
and junior Jeff Bihy (Baltimore/Eastern Tech).
Stevenson increased its lead to 7-3 after an RBI
single by junior Chris Maienshein
(Finksburg/Westminster) with two outs in the bottom of the
seventh.
The Spartans (5-8, 2-4 CAC) threatened in the eighth with
runners on the corners and no outs against Mustang junior
Johnny Jackson (Baltimore/Cardinal Gibbons).
However, Jackson retired the next two batters while allowing
just one run before sophomore Patrick Quinn (Mt.
Airy/Linganore) got Kyle Cook to ground out and end the
inning.
Quinn allowed a harmless two-out single in the ninth before
picking up his first career save as the Mustangs won their fourth
in the last five meetings versus York dating back to last season
where they won three out of four.
Nason scattered six hits and allowed just three runs over
six-and-a-third while striking out three to pick up his second win
in his second start.
Papuchis and Krochune each went 2-for-4 to lead Stevenson as six
of its 11 hits went for extra bases. Junior Dustin Tarlow
(Finksburg/Westminster) was 1-for-3 with two runs, two
walks and one RBI.
CT Stanley was 4-for-5 with two RBIs to lead the Spartans who
lost their seventh in nine road games this season. Chris
Frankenfield suffered his first loss after allowing five earned
runs and four walks over five innings.
Stevenson and York conclude their three-game series on Saturday
with a doubleheader at York's Jaquet Field beginning at 1:00 p.m.
