THE LEADERS

THE REST OF THE STORY

• With one out in the bottom of the second, Naquan Holden (Brooklyn, N.Y./Perkiomen School) reached on a throwing error before Kyle Petak (Manassas Park, Va./Manassas Park) was hit by a pitch. A T.J. McGuire single to the gap scored Holden to tie the game before Joey Hubinger laced a double in his first collegiate at bat for a 3-1 lead.
• A two-out throwing error allowed McGuire to reach in the fourth. He then stole second and scored on a Hubinger single for a 4-1 advantage.
• The Green Terror sent 14 batters to the plate in the fifth. Isaiah Ishmail (Cherry Hill, N.J.) led off the frame with an infield single before scoring on a Julian Jenkins (Tempe, Ariz./Desert Vista) double. Will Strauss (Freeport, N.Y./Waldorf) followed with an RBI single before Tom Daly (Haddon Heights, N.J./Haddon Heights) was hit by a pitch. Back-to-back fielder's choices stretched the lead to 7-1 before a fielding error and second Ishmail single in the inning opened the gates for the eight-run frame and 12-1 lead.
• Jarod Pezzano (Stevensville, Md./Kent Island) drew a walk to lead off the sixth before a fielder's choice, wild pitch, McGuire double and error on a two-out strikeout made it a 13-1 game.
• A Bryce Stout triple and Colin Maloney RBI groundout scored one more run for the Lions in the seventh.
• In game two, Jenkins led off the home first with a triple and scored on a Strauss sacrifice fly for a 1-0 lead.
• Penn State-Berks drew even in the third. Salerno and Pennypacker put together back-to-back singles to lead off the inning before a one-out Stout single tied the game.

• Jack Slater (Hebron, Conn./Rham) started the bottom of the sixth with a single down the line before giving way to Jerald Hurt (Arbutus, Md./Lansdowne) as a pinch runner. After a muffed throw put Hurt at second, Holden tripled to tie the game then scored on a McGuire one-out single up the middle.
