Anderson's RBI Single Lifts Baseball Past No. 21 York

YORK, Pa. - An RBI single by freshman Justin Anderson (Shrewsbury, Pa./Calvert Hall) with two outs in the top of the ninth snapped a three-game losing streak for the Stevenson University baseball team and capped a come-from-behind 6-5 victory over No. 21 York (Pa.) on Wednesday at Jaquet Field.

Anderson finished the game 2-for-3 with three RBIs for the Mustangs (12-10, 8-2 CAC) who handed the Spartans their first conference loss this season and ended their 16-game win streak.

It was also just the second win in the last eight meetings for Stevenson against York.

Junior Derrick Nason (Catonsville/Reservoir) gave the Mustangs eight strong innings, scattering nine hits and four walks to pick up his team-leading fourth win in his fifth start.

Senior Wade Keenan (Eldersburg/Liberty) picked up his second career save, retiring three of the five batters he faced in the bottom of the ninth, including Matt Monti who grounded out to end the game with the tying run on third.

Anderson started the scoring when he reached on an error in the top of the first that scored sophomore Dustin Tarlow (Finksburg/Westminster). Anderson later scored on an RBI single by senior Griffin Stewart (Reisterstown/Bel Air).

The Mustangs took a 4-1 lead after two innings after Anderson's two-run double to right scored Tarlow and sophomore Andrew Chase (Ellicott City/River Hill).

The Spartans (16-3, 7-1 CAC) rallied to take a 5-4 lead with two runs in the third and solo home runs in the fourth and fifth. Rob Klinck scored on a wild pitch and Kyle Cook scored on an RBI single by Ryan Poff in the third before Jim Meehan and Poff each homered to left.

Freshman Jake Sodeman (Davidsonville/South River), pinch-running for sophomore Steve Krider (Westminster/Westminster), scored the game-tying run in the ninth on Tarlow's two-out RBI double after Krider singled as a pinch hitter for senior Sean Dolan (Odenton/Arundel).

Tarlow finished 2-for-5 with three runs and an RBI while Stewart was 2-for-3 with an RBI. Junior George Papuchis (Damascus/Good Counsel) also had two hits for the Mustangs.

Stevenson will host games two and three of its three-game series with York on Saturday at Bachman Sports Complex. First pitch is at 1:00 p.m.
