Wildcats rally for win
|
Pete Rosa had two key hits in Johnson & Wales
comeback win over Mass-Maritime. |
Sophomore Pete Rosa rapped out a pair of hits and sparked a pair
of late inning rallies, including a five-run outburst in the top of
the ninth, to lift Johnson & Wales to an 8-4 non-league victory
over Mass-Maritime at Commodore Hendy Field. The visiting
Wildcats trailed 4-3 heading into their final at-bat, but Rosa
evened matters at 4-4 with a one-out RBI single before senior Bryan
Sayers plated the go-ahead run after being hit by a pitch with two
outs and the bases loaded. Rosa scored on a passed ball to
extend Johnson & Wales' lead to 6-4, and a two-run single off
the bat of senior Mike Murphy capped the rally for the visitors,
who overcame a pair of one-run deficits in the late innings.
