Offensive Explosion Pushes Catholic To Doubleheader Split

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - Catholic picked up a doubleheader split on day two of the Ripken Experience, defeating Albertus Magnus while dropping game one to McDaniel. 

Game 1 - McDaniel 15, Catholic 7

Catholic took a 5-4 lead into the bottom of the fifth inning on Sunday afternoon, but the Green Terror of McDaniel used a seven-run inning to take the lead in a 15-7 victory.

Trailing 4-0, Catholic pushed four across the board in the top of the third to tie the contest. Pozzi and Burton walked to open the inning. After McDaniel starter Jake Young retired Johnson, the Green Terror went to the bullpen, bringing in Ryan Martino. 

Facing Martino, Thomas singled up the middle, loading the bases for Logan Eilbacher. Eilbacher hit a grounder to short, but an errant throw allowed him to reach while Pozzi and Burton scored. With two outs, Falcon reached on an error as Thomas scored to make it 4-3. Finally, Eilbacher tied the game at 4-4 as he scored on a failed pickoff attempt. 

The Cardinals took the lead in the top of the fourth inning as Johnson drove in Pozzi with an RBI single to left.
