As we left the dreary state of Delaware, we got to Towson and finally got to at least practice in baseball weather; 65 and sunny. Everyone focused on the game at hand we know we have to win these next two games. Chris Beilack started the game and went three innings while giving up 3 runs. Sean McKeown stepped on the bump in the bottom of the fourth and went four strong innings giving up no runs while Jake Rifken and Eric Alessio did the same in the eighth and ninth. It was a tie game, 3-3, until the 7th inning when Mike Gallic broke open the game with a two-run double and soon after a 3-run homerun by Zach Shank. We took the first game from Towson 8-3 still riding our hot streak. Can we keep it going?
Brett Houseal got the start on the mound the second game against Towson and did not disappoint. Houseal went six innings while only allowing one run and four hits. Yet again, our offensive came to play. At this point we do not have a weak link in the lineup. Everyone contributes whether it is getting a bunt down to move a runner into scoring position or hitting the good-ahead homerun. For a small mid-major school like us, the success of our season really depends on how the freshmen adjust to college ball. So far everyone has done a phenomenal job of understanding their role and doing things the right way. And it shows in the results. We ended winning the second game at Towson 9-4 boosting our record to 11-3. Keeping the momentum with us we are now headed to George Washington University for a three game series to finish out our trip.
