Baseball Secures First Playoff Appearance Since 2016

WESTMINSTER, Md. - With a 14-4 win over Washington College on Friday at Preston Field, the McDaniel College baseball team secured the team's first appearance in the Centennial Conference Baseball Championship since 2016.

The Green Terror (20-13) also posted 20 wins for the second time in three seasons under head coach Jim Carone.

McDaniel, who secured its spot with a win and Swarthmore's 11-5 loss against Haverford, is currently tied for second place in the conference standings with Dickinson after the Red Devils dropped an 8-5 decision at Franklin & Marshall on Friday.

The Green Terror scored at least two runs in four of their seven offensive innings with seven different players registering at least one RBI and eight picking up at least one hit.

The first five batters in the lineup for McDaniel went a combined 10-for-19 with 11 RBIs.

Graduate student Joey Hubinger went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and three RBIs, picking up his 100th career RBI with an RBI-double in the third inning for the game's first run. He is just the fifth player in program history to total 100 career RBIs, including senior Tyler Yohn.

Junior Shane Daly and sophomore Ben Davis were each 2-for-4 with a triple and three RBIs. Daly also stole his 23rd base of the season, the second-most in a single season in program history. The record is 24 set by Antonio Rosanova in 2017.

Daly has stolen 35 bases in 70 career games, the fifth-most in program history.

After a scoreless first two innings, the Green Terror scored two runs in the bottom of the third before the Shoremen (8-29, 3-13 CC) tied the game with two unearned runs in the fourth.

McDaniel answered with four runs in the bottom of the fourth, beginning with a two-run single by Hubinger before an RBI-triple by Davis and RBI-single by freshman Shea McKenna gave the home team a 6-2 lead.

Leading 8-4 headed into the bottom of the seventh, the Green Terror scored six runs to invoke the conference mercy rule, including five with the bases loaded on three hit-by-pitch and two walks. Daly ended it with a sacrifice fly to score sophomore Kyle Carl.

On the mound, sophomore Tyson Nercessian improved to 3-0, allowing just three hits over 3.0 scoreless innings while striking out five.

McDaniel wraps up the regular season with a Centennial Conference road doubleheader at Ursinus on Saturday. First pitch is at noon.
