History

Score: Army 12, UAlbany 2 (7 inn.)
 
Location: Doubleday Field – West Point, N.Y.
 
Records: UAlbany (1-13, 0-0 America East) | Army (8-10, 0-0 Patriot League)
 
Short Story: The University at Albany baseball team stayed within striking distance early, but a big fifth inning from Army West Point proved to be the difference on Wednesday afternoon.
 
Coach Jon Mueller: “We gave away too many free passes early and had some miscues which blew up innings. Onto NJIT for our conference opener this weekend.”
 
Key Stats:


UAlbany Pitchers:


Tre Mariano hit a solo home run in the fourth inning.
Michael Maggio led the Great Danes with two hits.

How it Happened:


UAlbany struck first in the opening inning when Cooper Loyal came around to score on an RBI groundout from Levi McAllister to take a 1-0 lead.
Army responded in the bottom half, capitalizing on a defensive miscue to even the score at 1-1.
Brian Cadieux got the start on the mound before Jameson Walsh entered in relief in the third inning and delivered two scoreless frames to keep the Great Danes within reach.
Army took control in the second inning, scoring three runs on a two-RBI triple and aggressive baserunning to build a 4-1 advantage.
Tre Mariano provided a spark in the fourth inning, launching a solo home run to left field to cut the deficit to 4-2.
Zach Nalawadi took over on the mound in the fifth inning, where Army broke the game open with an eight-run frame, highlighted by a three-run home run from Josiah Overbeek.
Ethan Nardacci entered in the sixth inning and held Army scoreless the rest of the way, but the early damage proved too much to overcome.
