CARLISLE, Pa. - After the McDaniel College baseball team tied the game in the seventh, Dickinson scored two runs in the eighth to escape with a 6-4 victory Sunday at MacPhail Field.
The Green Terror (13-10, 4-2 CC) rallied from a 4-1 deficit in the fifth before the Red Devils scored the game-winning run on a walk with the bases loaded as part of a two-run bottom of the eighth.
Graduate student
Joey Hubinger totaled three hits to lead the visitors, going 3-for-4 with a walk while freshman
Ethan Haddock was 2-for-5 with two RBIs.
Haddock drove in the game's first run with a single to left center in the top of the third to score senior
Luke Kelly before Dickinson (16-7, 4-2 CC) took the lead in the bottom of the inning on a two-run single by Matt Torres.
The Red Devils doubled their lead with a two-run homer to left by Chase Weller in the fifth.
Trailing by three, McDaniel began its comeback with a sacrifice fly by senior
Tyler Yohn in the sixth that scored Hubinger. Haddock had an RBI-double in the seventh to score junior
Shane Daly before another sacrifice fly, this time by sophomore
Ben Davis, scored Haddock to tie the game at 4-4.
However, Dickinson would answer in the bottom of the eighth, loading the bases with one out before Josh Markley drew a walk to score Luke Gartland for what proved to be the game-winning run.
The Red Devils added their final run on a sacrifice fly before the Green Terror stranded the tying runs in scoring position in the top of the ninth.
