Score: Mount Saint Mary College 1, Maritime 7
Records: Mount Saint Mary College (7-16, 2-6 Skyline) | Maritime (11-9, 8-0)
Rapid Recap
The Mount hoped to improve their play all around in game two, and did just that to start.
Michael Pisseri got the start in game two, as the junior pitcher has been the ace for the Knights this season, leading the team in wins with a 4-1 record. He would go 1-2-3 in the top of the 1st, retiring the side with a strikeout. In the bottom half of the inning,
Aidan Marshall hit a lead-off triple to get the team going.
Stephen Volk singled to shallow right field for the RBI, scoring Marshall from third. Mount Saint Mary's lead would be short-lived as a passed ball in the 2nd inning tied things up 1-1. The Privateers scored another run in the following inning to take the lead.
Aidan Marshall would draw a walk in the bottom of the 3rd, making his way all the way over to third base off wild pitches, but would be stopped there after a strikeout ended the inning.
Another error would cost the Knights in the 4th inning to make it 3-1 Maritime. The Mount Saint Mary seemed flat outside of the 1st inning, mustering just three hits total this game. The Privateers' offense ramped up in the 5th inning, scoring four runs to extend their lead to 7-1.
Bruce Mistler was one of the lone bright spots for the Knights this game, tossing 3.1 hit- less innings and providing some good work out of the bullpen. Mount Saint Mary was unable to do much offensively in the final few innings, as they ultimately lost to Maritime 7-1.
