THE SKINNY STORY
Dickinson scored four runs in the top of the ninth inning in game one to rally for an 8-7 win over McDaniel before riding that momentum into the second game and completing the sweep, 16-4.

THE LEADERS
• Connor Uhrig (Sinking Spring, Pa./Wilson) led the Green Terror in his debut with five hits. He had three knocks in game one and a pair in the nightcap.
• Billy Wheatley (Galloway, N.J./Absegami) added three hits and two RBIs in the first game.

FOR THE FOES
• Derek Smith led the Red Devils with five hits. He had three knocks in game one and two in game two.

THE REST OF THE STORY
• A one-out Connor Uhrig double, wild pitch and T.J. McGuire (Blue Point, N.Y./Bayport-Blue Point) single up the middle staked McDaniel to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning of game one. After the Green Terror loaded the bases, the Red Devils got a double-play ball to prevent any further damage.
• A pair of walks and hits, including an RBI knock by Julian Jenkins (Tempe, Ariz./Desert Vista) stretched the lead to 2-0 in the second.
• A Tom Gannaway one-out single and Derek Smith double one batter later cut the deficit in half in the top of the third.
• Consecutive knocks from the bottom of the Green Terror order got that run back in the bottom of the frame. Jarod Pezzano (Stevensville, Md./Kent Island) produced the RBI knock to plate Jack Bayne (Lutherville, Md./Towson) for a 3-1 lead.
• Billy Wheatley doubled home Uhrig for a 4-1 lead in the fourth.
• Christian Kim doubled home a pair of runs to cap a three-run sixth that tied the game at 4-all.
• Uhrig walked then used a pair of wild pitches and Jake Smith (Washington, N.J./Warren Hills Regional) RBI groundout to put the hosts back in front.
• Uhrig then led off the home eighth with a double, keying a two-run frame for a 7-4 lead.
• Four hits and a pair of free passes led to a four-run top of the ninth, however, to give Dickinson an 8-7 edge.
• Beau Dana came on and pitched a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth with two strikeouts for the save.
• In game two, a Gannaway triple keyed a six-run second inning to stake Dickinson to an early lead.
• A Uhrig two-run double helped cut the deficit in half in the bottom of the frame.
• Tyler Scaff's two-run single capped a three-run fifth that pushed the lead to 9-3 before the Red Devils tacked on three more in the eighth behind three straight walks.
• A Uhrig single, error, groundout, and Wheatley sacrifice fly made it 12-4 in the home eighth.
• A Kim grand slam pushed the lead to 16-4 in the ninth. Dickinson reloaded the bases before the game was called due to darkness.

THE INSIDE STORY
• Ryan Martino (Brooklyn, N.Y./Millennium Brooklyn) and Jack Vener (Easton, Md./St. Michael's) each struck out four batters. Martino went four innings while Vener pitched 2 2/3 innings of relief.
• Billy Wheatley and Jack Bayne also had three hits each in game one.
