Late-Inning Surge Lifts Marywood Past King’s

Scranton, Pa.- The Marywood University baseball team erupted for 16 runs over the final three innings to turn an early deficit into a runaway 19-6 victory over King's College on Tuesday afternoon.

Trailing 3-0 through three and a half innings, Marywood chipped away in the fourth before delivering a decisive blow in the fifth. After tying the game at 3-3 in the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Mike Biskup and RBI hits from Watson Church and Anden Bordick, King's briefly reclaimed the lead in the fifth. That advantage was short-lived.

Marywood sent 11 men to the plate in the bottom of the fifth, scoring seven runs on six hits and capitalizing on a defensive miscue. Ethan Reccek's RBI single gave the Pacers their first lead, and Church followed with another run-scoring hit. The inning's defining moment came when Cam Bott ripped a bases-clearing triple, turning a one-run edge into a commanding 9-4 cushion. Evan Bruder added an RBI single later in the frame to cap the outburst.

The offensive surge continued in the sixth, when the Pacers erupted for nine more runs. Reccek highlighted the inning with a two-run home run, part of a four-hit, three-RBI performance. Bott stayed hot with another triple and finished with four RBIs, while Church collected three hits and drove in three runs of his own. Joel Ayers reached base four times and scored three runs, and Kuzior added two hits and an RBI as the lineup produced 19 hits overall.

King's struck first despite not recording a hit in the second inning, scoring twice on wild pitches. Brendan Kopec added a solo home run in the fourth, and Miles Carey drove in two runs with a double in the sixth, but the Monarchs were unable to keep pace with Marywood's relentless offense.

On the mound, Tim Higgins earned the win in relief, tossing two innings and allowing two runs. Max Ryan started and worked three innings, while Aidan Dolan and Logan Vakiener combined to finish the game.

Marywood (10-6) welcomes St. Lawrence University tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 p.m.
