DOVER, Del. - A two-run single by junior Justin Anderson (Shrewsbury, Pa./Calvert Hall) in the top of the eighth inning capped a five-run rally as the Stevenson baseball team erased a two-run deficit to win its second-straight game with a 9-7 victory over second-place Wesley Friday at Bob Reed Field.

Both teams combined for 16 runs, 20 hits and 10 errors with the Mustangs (7-16, 3-6 CAC) totaling 13 hits, including five in the eighth to go along with two unearned runs.

Stevenson led 4-1 in the top of the third after a two-run single by Anderson in the first, an RBI ground out by senior Dustin Tarlow (Finksburg/Westminster) in the second and an RBI single to center by junior Zac Stavish (Westminster/South Carroll) in the third.

However, the Wolverines (13-10, 5-4 CAC) would take their first lead with four runs in the bottom of the third, highlighted by a two-run double by Geoff Kimmel. Kimmel gave them the lead when he scored an unearned run on a single by Steve Perone.

Neither team would score again until the Wolverines added another run in the bottom of the seventh to extend their lead to 6-4. Jon Carlson led off the inning on a hit-by-pitch before coming around to score on a single to center by Perone.

Five consecutive batters reached base on three hits, a walk and an error for the Mustangs with one out in the eighth as they tied the score on an unearned run by freshman Scott Merkel (Hampstead/Calvert Hall). 

With two outs, Anderson drove in freshman Thomas Goulian (Kinnelon, N.J./Kinnelon) and senior Cody Schuchman (Baltimore/Calvert Hall) for what proved to be the game-winning runs, both of which were unearned as the Wolverines committed three errors in the inning.
