Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 | Box Score 3 It appears the John Carroll baseball team is warming up on the idea of playing in Florida.

After a dreadful start to the season (five straight losses), including three setbacks to start its venture in the Sunshine State, the Blue Streaks have rallied with four consecutive wins.

The latest three came at the expense of Medaille (10-0 and 4-3) and Bluffton (13-8).

The story of the opener on Thursday was Jimmy Spagna. The sophomore worked seven shutout innings and allowed just three hits (all singles) while allowing his offense to find a groove.

The Blue Streaks pounded out 16 hits, led by David Lykens who had a triple among his three. Ryan Konsler and Mitchell Herringshaw also collected three hits in the contest.

The nightcap was more of a white-knuckler, as John Carroll and Medaille slugged out all seven runs of the game in the same frame.

Medaille scored three in the top of the fourth, but John Carroll countered with four in the bottom half. After a hit by pitch and two errors loaded the bases, Lykens drove two runs home with a single. Konsler tied the game with a sacrafice fly, and Tyler Gerling broke the deadlock with a two-out single to score Lykens.

Pat Stump came up big, entering the game in the fourth inning as a relief pitcher and holding the Mavericks to just two hits and two-and-a-third innings of work. In a tense top of the seventh inning, the freshman allowed a walk and a single with two outs, but induced a ground out to end the game and earn his first collegiate victory.

On Friday, John Carroll and Bluffton combined for 28 hits, but it was the Blue Streaks who made the most of their opportunities in prevailing by a 13-8 count.

John Carroll was paced at the plate by Mitch Herringshaw, who went 4-4 against Bluffton. He doubled in the first inning and singled in the second, fourth, and fifth innings.

Also providing pop at the dish was Aaron Miller, who drove in five runs.

Anthony Libertini, a hard luck loser in a 1-0 pitcher's duel earlier in the trip against Moravian, got the win in this slugfest for John Carroll. He allowed four runs in four-and-a-third innings.

Kevin Rosinski rose to the occasion out of the bullpen, hurling two innings of shutout ball while racking up two strikeouts and giving up no hits and no walks.
