Brockport derails the Etta Express
Three different players had three hits each as Brockport (8-4) pounded out 17 hits to upend Marietta College (10-4), 8-3 Saturday at Marietta, Ohio.
Jake Dennstedt improved his record to 3-0, as continued his impressive start to the 2007 season with a strong outing against the defending national champions. He scattered 8 hits, while striking out 6 and allowing only 1 run in his 7 innings of work. Nate Eschbaugh (1-1) took the loss for Marietta.
Brockport opened the game with three consecutive hits scoring a single run on an RBI single from SS Tim Wilson, to temporarily quiet a very enthusiastic Marietta crowd. They kept the crowd quiet when they extended that lead to 2-0 in the second inning on a two out RBI double by 1B Rob Maxwell.
The emotional turning point of the game started in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Brockport up 2-0, Marietta opened the fifth by sandwiching two singles around a Dennstedt strikeout. With one out, Marietta's Chase Merryman moved the runners up into scoring position with a ground out to the right side. Finally having runners in scoring position brought the Marrietta crowd back to life! However, the Brockport infield came to Dennstedt's aide when they knocked down a bullet hit down the first baseline, by Marietta's Cameron Cimino, gathered in the ball and flipped it to Dennstadt covering first to end the scoring threat.
The Marietta faithful remained loud and into the game, but Brockport's Jamie Rose once again quieted the crowd when he led off the top of the sixth inning with a solo home run to put Brockport up 3-0. In the seventh inning Seamus Moran drove in a run to extend the lead to 4-0.
In the Brockport 8th, the Eagles parlayed 4 singles, a walk and a sacrifice fly from Moran, into the four runs giving Brockport a 8-0 lead. The big hit in the inning was a two run single from 2B Mike Meola.
Marietta finally broke the shut out when they pushed a run across in the bottom of the 8th inning. Tony Piconte led off the inning with a double, and eventually scored the only run allowed by Dennstedt on a Brian Wolfe ground out. The Pioneers added a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and an unearned run in the ninth to complete the scoring.
Brockport had 17 hits on the day, led by 3 hit outings by Tim Wilson, Mike Meola (each with 2 RBI) and Rob Maxwell (2 doubles, RBI). Marietta's 11 hit attack was led by Tony Piconte with 2 doubles.
