Baseball Wins in Extras

Salvatore Cifalino began the winning rally by drawing a leadoff walk. After a sacrifice and another walk, graduate student Jack Kent singled to left to bring home Cifalino and break the 4-all tie.

Senior Ethan Brochin allowed a leadoff single in the bottom of the 10th but retired the next three hitters to nail down his third win of the season. He and freshman Kieran Mulholland combined on a seven-hitter with only one earned run allowed. Mulholland tossed the first 5 2/3, and Brochin (pictured above) tied his career high with 4 1/3 innings pitched, allowing three hits and no earned runs.

The Mules (12-10, 2-1) trailed 2-0 through three innings but came back in the middle innings, with freshman Sean Habeeb singling in a run in the fourth and junior Thomas Pranzo bringing in a run in the fifth with one of his four singles in the game.

A bases-loaded walk and Kent’s sacrifice fly plated the tying and go-ahead run in the top of the sixth. The Red Devils (9-11, 0-3) tied the score on an unearned run in the bottom of the eighth.

Habeeb went 3-for-4, while Kent and sophomore Spencer Hobson had a pair of hits apiece.
