BASEBALL’S COMEBACK AT SAN DIEGO FALLS SHORT, 11-7

SAN DIEGO, CA - Monmouth University Baseball (3-7) scored seven times in the final innings and cut into the University of San Diego (9-2) lead, but couldn't complete the comeback, falling in the series finale 11-7.

The home team jumped to the lead, scoring twice in the first before a pair of three-run innings made it 8-0. After two scoreless frames, San Diego extended the lead to 11-0 with another three-run stanza, this one in the sixth.

MU got back in it in the seventh and eighth, starting with a four-run seventh. JP Walsh (Spring Brook Township, PA/North Pocono) and Dennis Filipovski (Ormond Beach, FL/Seabreeze/St. Petersburg College) singled in runs before Johnny Zega (Lincroft, NJ/Middletown South) singled back up the middle to plate a pair and make it 11-4. The Blue and White went right back to work in the eighth, with Filipovski driving in a run with an infield hit before Harry Padden (Pittsgrove, NJ/AP Schalick) picked up his second extra-base hit in as many games, tripling home two more to cut it to 11-7.

In the ninth, Robbie Holmes (Bernardsville, NJ/Bernards) led off with a double before Phil Stahl (Levittown, PA/Holy Ghost Preparatory) got aboard with an infield hit. Danny Long (Sellersville, PA/Pennridge) followed with a line shot to right center that was run down before a line-drive double play ended the Hawks threat.
