Baltimore, Md. – The UMBC Retrievers (10-23) baseball team knocked 17 hits and tallied a seven run seventh inning en route to an 11-1 win over Mount St. Mary’s (13-22) on Tuesday night at The Baseball Factory Field at UMBC.  Kyle Wildasin (Hanover, Pa./Southwestern) set a UMBC record for career appearances making his 71st career pitching performance with his start Tuesday night.  Wildasin captured the win going 7.0 innings, allowing four hits, one unearned run and striking out four. 

 

Wildasin worked through the first two innings perfect before giving up his first hit in the third as the Mount led off with a walk to Matt Eiden and single by Danny Fowler.  Wildasin and some stellar defense worked the Retrievers out of the inning unscathed as Wildasin struck out Jim Serafin and first basemen Isaac Friedel (Wall, N.J./St. Rose) came home with grounder hit to him, throwing out Eiden at the plate. 

 

UMBC tallied 11 hits in the first six innings scoring four runs before opening up the offense in the seventh as 11 Retrievers came to the plate, scoring seven runs.  UMBC’s biggest hit of the inning came with bases loaded as Brian Moran (Columbia, Md./Chapelgate) doubled into the left centerfield gap, clearing the base paths for three RBI. 

 

The Mount’s only run came in the top of the seventh as Serafin scored on a throwing error by the Retrievers.  The Mount scattered four hits in the game as Justus Yocum, Stephan Fay, Joe Kotula and Fowler all recorded hits.  Craig Henson took the loss going the first 4.2 innings allowing three runs on nine hits.  The most damage was done to Steve Stoner, who allowed all seven runs in the seventh, going 0.2 innings.

 

Mike Scheffel (Westminster, Md./Westminster) scored twice on a 3-for-5 performance and Alex Laddbush (Clarksburg, Md./Ohio U.) drove in one, scored twice going 3-for-4 at the plate.  Zach Clark (Newark, Del./Newark) extended his hit streak to 12 games with a 2-for-5 performance, scoring a run and recording an RBI. 

 

UMBC returns to action at Towson on Wednesday at 3 p.m.
