College Baseball Opening Day

Today starts the college baseball season, that will last through summer until August when we Bethesda's season ends. I will recap last years players performances throughout this season.
We had 2 of last years players start today. Josh Schneider (Morehead St.) and Martin Agosta ( St. Mary's CA)
Schneider and the MSU Eagles played Mercer University in Game 1 of a doubleheader.
He was solid through 2, allowed only 3 runs over the next 2, but fell apart in the 5th walking a pair of batters and allowing a pair of hits, he was relieved by Gerardo Arias who didnt help the cause, allowing 5 earned over only 1 inning.
Josh's line : 4.1 IP 7 H 7 R 7 ER 2 BB 2 K's
Morehead State fell 22-6 in game 1 of a doubleheader.

Gael's pitcher Martin Agosta had a very different start to the season.
He threw a solid 7 innings allowing only 1 unearned run, 7 base runners, and struck out 8 batters. He left the game in a 1-1 tie and the Gaels scored next inning and the scored remained 2-1. Brenden Kalfus went 0-4.

Also in California, San Fransisco and San Jose State open the season in a 3 game series. 6 of last years players  are on those 2 combined rosters.
Senior Catcher Mason Morioka lead the Dons to a 4-0 victory over the Spartans. Morioka went 3-5 with 2 RBI and hit his 1st college homer.
Quote from usfdons.com,
     "It was awesome," Morioka said when asked about hitting the home run. "I kind of expected to get big leagued in the dugout when I came back after hitting it. I'm a fourth year senior so I understand the practical joke."


Cameron Love came in the game in the 7th inning in a bases loaded situation, struck out Big Train teammate Mike Aldrete, and threw the rest of the game to get a 3 inning save.


Back on the east coast, Michael Bass and Drew Farber from UNC Wilmington helped in a 10th inning comeback against Ohio. Closing pitcher Tyler Backstrom blew a save in the 9th, and Ohio took the lead in the 10th, but a two run single by Thomas Pope drove in Drew Farber as the winning run to win the game in 10.


Michael Bass was 1-4 and Drew Farber was 1-2 with the winning run.
