WESTMINSTER, Md. – McDaniel pounded out 19 hits as part of a 14-5 win over Hood in non-conference baseball action on Wednesday.

Marty Windisch (Manchester, Md./Manchester Valley) went 4-for-4 at the plate and struck out 11 batters in six innings of work on the mound for the 24th-ranked Green Terror (18-1), who was playing its first game as a ranked team.

Josh Gall went 3-for-4 to lead the Blazers (8-12), who had 13 hits but left 15 runners on base.

Trailing 2-0 after Cam Esposito and Gall doubled in the top of the first, Sean Sivo (Ellicott City, Md./Howard) led off the home first with a single. Windisch followed with a triple and later scored on an RBI groundout to tie the game.

Tyler O'Shea (Springfield, Pa./Springfield) gave McDaniel the lead for good an inning later, blasting a one-out home run to left field to make it 3-2.

Three straight singles from Tyler Gilbert (York, Pa./Glen Burnie [Md.]), Nick Valori (Sewell, N.J./Washington Twp.) and Eric Grantland (Pasadena, Md./Northeast) stretched the lead to 5-2 in the third.

Antonio Rosanova (Laurel, Md./DeMatha) walked to lead off the fourth before back-to-back singles by Sivo and Windisch and a Cameron Bahr (Southampton, N.J./Seneca) pushed the lead to 7-2.

A Quinn Fulton single, wild pitch a Drake Friend double down the line closed the deficit to 7-3 in the top of the fifth.

Five singles in the sixth made it a 10-3 game before Fulton homered with one out in the seventh.

Hood scratched out a run in the eighth with singles by Gall and Tyler Cook around a walk before a two-run single by Grantland keyed a four-run bottom of the frame to set the final margin.

Sivo, Valori and O'Shea had three hits each while Grantland had two hits and three RBIs.
