WASHINGTON, D.C. — After inclement weather forced yesterday's contest into a postponement, the Catholic University Baseball team resumed the halted game before battling Moravian in an additional nine inning contest. Ross Natoli and the team honored its eight seniors before the resumption of game one.

No. 11 Catholic took both from the Greyhounds to advance to 23-3 on the year and a perfect 11-0 in Landmark Conference play.

GAME ONE: Catholic 13, Moravian 11

Catholic rallied with six runs in the fifth and got a massive lift from a Ben Nardi bomb to claim game one.

Moravian had built a 7-4 lead when the game was halted yesterday in the top of the fifth inning. When play resumed, Camden Mounts took over on the mound for the Cardinals and was able to work out of a first-and-third, one out jam allowing just a single run.

The Cardinals wasted no time righting the ship from yesterday, pushing across six in the bottom half of the inning. Nardi got things going with a lead-off walk before a Jesse Lacefield RBI double, a Matthew Fisher two-RBI single and a Joe Marini RBI single highlighted the frame.

Moravian took advantage of sloppy play by the Cardinals in the top of the sixth to respond immediately and tie the game at 10. An RBI single and a wild pitch, combined with an error, allowed the Greyhounds to plate two runs with two outs.

The game remained knotted until the bottom of the eighth when Dante Pozzi led off the frame with a single. After a Marini double put two runners in scoring position, Nardi absolutely blasted a home run to right field, pushing the Cardinals ahead.

Cody Bosak was brilliant on the mound, pitching the seventh and the eighth innings and earning the victory. He struck out four batters while only allowing a single hit.

Brendan Martin earned his fourth save of the season after allowing a single unearned run in the top of the ninth.

GAME TWO: Catholic 13, Moravian 4

Catholic wasted no time jumping on the Greyhounds again in game two, scoring in the first inning and pushing four across before Moravian got on the board.

It was Lucas Malave who got the Cardinals going in the opening frame with a single to left field. Derek Zelesnick and Marini grabbed RBIs in the second inning and Justin McCarthy scored on a wild pitch.

Moravian scored two in the third, one in the fourth and one in the fifth to trail 5-3 after five as Catholic did also add one more in the third. However, Catholic busted the game open with three spots in the bottom of the fifth and bottom of the seventh.

Senior Tucker Alch provided another solid start on the mound, allowing three earned runs over 6.0 innings pitched. He fanned nine batters to move to 6-0 on the season.

Lucky Perrotto followed Alch well with 2.0 clean innings with no hits allowed and three strikeouts. Three seniors who were honored in the pre-game-one ceremony—Patrick Durkan, Hector Navarro and Skylar McLean—combined to get the final three outs of the game.

McCarthy and Fisher each registered three hits as six total Cardinals registred multi-hit games.

The sweep means Catholic has now won eight straight ball games. The Cardinals have scored 10 or more runs in each of their last seven games, outscoring opponents 101-45 during the eight-game win streak.

The Cardinals will now turn their attention to a blockbuster matchup on Wednesday afternoon when Catholic welcomes No. 2 Salisbury. The Sea Gulls sit at 24-3 on the season and are riding a 12-game winning streak. First pitch is slated for 3:30 p.m. on Talbot Field.
