Late Inning Rally Sends Baseball to Victory

BRIDGEWATER, Va. – The Bridgewater College baseball team rallied from a three-run deficit on its way to a 10-7 win against SUNY Oneonta at the Bridgewater Baseball Field on Saturday afternoon.
 
THE BASICS
Final Score: Bridgewater 10, SUNY Oneonta 7
Records: Bridgewater 2-6; SUNY Oneonta 1-2
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The visitors got on the board first in the early going as Sean Liquori drilled a three-run homer to right field to put the Red Dragons up 3-0.
  • Bridgewater scratched one run across home plate in the third inning as Lucas Bauer singled to lead off the inning and moved on an error. Jarret Biesecker dropped down a sacrifice bunt, but the throw to first ended up out of play as Bauer was allowed to score from third, 3-1.
  • Bauer came up big again in the following inning as he crushed a two run home run to right-center field to tie the game at 3-3.
  • Jeffrey Snider led off the fifth with a double and moved to third on a ground out before scoring on a Collin Reid RBI double to give BC its first lead of the afternoon, 4-3. That lead was short lived as the New York school tallied three runs on four hits to assume a 6-4 lead after six innings. The visitors added one more in the seventh to set the score at 7-4, while Devin Rooney got out of a jam in the home half of the frame as he stranded the bases loaded after striking out three Eagles with runners in scoring position.
  • The eighth inning was the game's difference maker as Kyle Carlson started it all off with a walk before going to second on a single by Bauer. Ben Anderson stepped in to pinch hit and delivered a single to load the bases with no outs. Biesecker drew a bases-loaded walk to draw in a run and force a pitching change. Brandon Hartman fought back from down 0-2 in the count to also earn a walk with the bases juiced to make the score 7-6. Reid delivered once again as he laced a two-run single into right field followed by a Jonathan Sexton two-run double to center as the Eagles went ahead 10-7.
  • Brett Tharp entered the game in the top of the ninth and shut down Oneonta for his first save of the 2023 campaign.
