Green Terror plates 15 to even record
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. – Brandon Kline (Myersville,
Md./Middletown) went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and three
runs scored to lead McDaniel to a 15-6 victory over Hamilton at the
RussMatt Central Florida Invitational in non-conference baseball
action on Sunday.
The Green Terror (1-1) played six runs in the top of the first
inning to open up an early lead and cruising to a victory to even
its overall record one game into the now six-game Florida trip.
Alex Augustyn led the Continentals (0-1) with a
3-for-5 outing, including an RBI and run scored.
After Kline drew a lead off walk, Kyle Pruitt (Berlin,
Md./Stephen Decatur) reached on a fielder's choice
in which both runners were safe.
A Russell Coover Schuylkill Haven, Pa./Blue
Mountain) double cleared the bases before Matthew
Pace (Baltimore, Md./North County) and Sergio
Nieto (Mameroneck, N.Y./Rye Neck) drew back-to-back
walks to load the bases.
After a groundout produced a run, Dan Wawrzusin
(Potomac, Md./Winston Churchill) drew another walk to
re-load the bases before Ray Hart (Cheverly,
Md./Suitland) singled home Pace.
Patrick Christopher (Union Bridge, N.J./St. John
Vianney) added a bases-loaded walk to stretch the lead to
5-0 before a Kline sacrifice fly plated Wawrzusin.
Single runs in the second, third and fourth innings, including a
Justin Atwood RBI triple in the third cut the
deficit in half before the Green Terror exploded for nine runs over
the next two innings.
In the top of the fifth, McDaniel sent 12 batters to plate and
notched six singles for its second six-run inning of the game.
A Kline RBI double two-out error in the sixth produced three
more tallies in the sixth for a 15-3 lead.
Samuel Choate notched an RBI double in the
bottom of the sixth before four walks and an Augustyn single
accounted for Hamilton's two runs in the eighth.
Danny Snight (Silver Spring, Md./St. John's
College) evened his record at 1-1, pitching the first five
