Offensive Outburst Carries Baseball to Season-Opening Win

ABERDEEN, Md. - The McDaniel College baseball team totaled 20 hits, including nine that went for extra bases, in a 20-5 victory over Keene State in the season opener for both teams Friday at the Ripken Experience Aberdeen.

The Green Terror (1-0) won its season opener for the second-straight year and remained unbeaten in four meetings against the Owls since 2018. All four games have come at neutral sites.

McDaniel totaled six doubles, two triples and one home run and had 10 players record at least one hit with six picking up one for extra bases.

Junior Shane Daly went 5-for-6 with five RBIs and three runs scored with three doubles and a three-run home run. Freshman Shea McKenna was 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs. Senior Tyler Yohn and freshman Ethan Haddock each had two hits and two RBIs.

The Green Terror led 13-1 after two, scoring five runs in the first and eight in the second. McKenna was one of three players with a run-scoring double in the first, doubling down the right field line to score senior Jake Smith and graduate student Joey Huninger to double the team's lead to 4-0.

Sophomore Robert Weer picked up one of his four RBIs on the day with a sacrifice fly to score Todd Calhoun and push the lead to 5-0.

McDaniel scored eight runs, including five unearned, on seven hits and two errors in the second, highlighted by Daly's sixth career home run and first since April 16, 2022.

Daly drove in two more runs with an RBI-double in the fifth as the Green Terror expanded their lead to 17-1. They capped their scoring with three runs in the sixth to take a 20-1 lead.

While McDaniel built its 19-run lead, sophomore Tyson Nercessian and freshman Aiden Castile limiting Keene State (0-1) to just one run on four hits while striking out six on the mound. Sophomore James Cosgrove worked the last three innings, scattering four hits and recording three strikeouts.

The Green Terror return to Ripken Experience Aberdeen on Saturday to take on Mount Aloysius. First pitch is at 4:30 p.m.
