KING'S BASEBALL DOWNS MARYWOOD 7-6 IN
12 INNINGS
WILKES-BARRE -- Geoff Ashton drove in
Tim Granquist with the game-winning run in the bottom of the 12th inning
as the King's College baseball team posted a 7-6 victory over Marywood
University Wednesday at Betzler Fields.
King's trailed 6-5 heading into the
final at-bats. Nick Sorino would single while Charlie Jenkins reached base
on an error. Ashton was then intentionally walked to load the bases. Bill
Medlock lofted a fly ball to right field and Sorino would bluff an attempt
to tag from third base on the play. But an errant throw home on the play
allowed the Monarch sophomore to score the tying run and send the game
into extra innings.
Matt Loringer picked up the win in
relief for King's, pitching three innings and striking out four batters.
Ashton led King's with three hits while Mike Venarchick added two
Mike Piercy and Ryan Federico led
Marywood with two hits each.
The Monarchs will next host FDU-Florham
Saturday at 1:00 p.m. at Betzler Fields
