Baseball Posts Highest Ranked Win in History at No. 4 Salisbury

SALISBURY, Md. - Highlighted by the first-year duo of Jack Morin and Luke Wood, the McDaniel College baseball team posted the highest ranked win in program history on Thursday with a 2-1 victory at No. 4 Salisbury.

The Green Terror (13-5) recorded their first-ever win over a top 5 team and extended their win streak to seven, their longest winning streak since winning seven in-a-row from April 20 to May 2, 2024.

The previous mark for highest ranked win in program history was a 10-5 victory over No. 6 Swarthmore at home on April 6, 2019.

McDaniel has now beaten a ranked opponent in each of the last two seasons after a 12-11 win over No. 23 Gettysburg at home on April 15, 2025.

It also marked the team's first win in four all-time meetings against the Sea Gulls who were ranked at No. 4 in the first in-season American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Division III Coaches Poll released on Tuesday.

Morin went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI-double, registering two of the team's five hits. Junior Shea McKenna was 1-for-4 with one RBI while sophomore Thomas Mezzullo was 1-for-3 with a walk.

Morin drove in the game's first run with a double to left center field that scored junior Ethan Haddock in the top of the second. The Green Terror added their second run in the top of the ninth on a sacrifice fly from junior Shea McKenna that scored sophomore Cameron Simon for what proved to be the game-winning run.

Trailing 2-0 and down to its final out, Salisbury (10-5) broke up the shutout bid with a solo home run to center field by Jackson Inman.

First-year Luke Wood and senior Tyson Nercessian combined to limit the Sea Gulls to just one run on seven hits while striking out five. Wood improved to 3-0 this season after scattering four hits over 6.2 scoreless innings with four strikeouts. Nercessian picked up his third save of the season after allowing just three hits over the final 2.1 innings.

Following a six-game road trip, McDaniel returns home to Preston Field on Sunday when it hosts a non-conference doubleheader with Notre Dame Maryland beginning at noon.
