Hawks Fall in Doubleheader Action at UMBC

BALTIMORE, Md. – A pair of late rallies lifted UMBC over the Monmouth University baseball team in both games of a doubleheader on Saturday.
 
UMBC scored twice in the bottom of the seventh to secure a 4-3 comeback win in game-one. In game-two, the Hawks led after four, but the Retrievers scored five times in the eighth to secure another comeback victory, that time 10-9.

Game One Recap:  The Hawks struck first in game-one. Robert Kelly had a two-out single that scored RJ Mustaro. 
 
Monmouth added to its lead in the third as back-to-back RBI doubles from Chris Walsh and Wyatt Hunt, gave the Hawks a 3-0 advantage.
 
UMBC got back-to-back solo home runs in the fourth to make a 3-2 game. 
 
The Retrievers scored twice in the bottom of the seventh with one out and secured the 4-3 win.
 
Game Two Recap:  A four run second inning got the Hawks off to a hot start in game-two. Hunt had an RBI double for the Hawks in the frame. 
 
The Hawks made it a 5-0 game with a run in the third. 
 
Monmouth put four more runs on the board in the top of the fourth and made it a 9-0 game. Nick Lovarco drove in two with a double while Simmi Whitehill added an RBI single.
 
The Hawks had a chance to add on in the top of the eighth but UMBC got a strikeout to leave the bases loaded.
 
UMBC scored the final 10 runs of the game, including five in the bottom of the eighth and claimed the 10-9 win.
